Deep neural networks (DNNs) suffer from noisy-labeled data because of the risk of overfitting. To avoid the risk, in this paper, we propose a novel DNN training method with sample selection based on adaptive k-set selection, which selects k…

We study an online caching problem in which requests can be served by a local cache to avoid retrieval costs from a remote server. The cache can update its state after a batch of requests and store an arbitrarily small fraction of each…

Recent literature has made much progress in understanding \emph{online LQR}: a modern learning-theoretic take on the classical control problem in which a learner attempts to optimally control an unknown linear dynamical system with fully…

This paper studies an online service caching problem, where an edge server, equipped with a prediction window of future service request arrivals, needs to decide which services to host locally subject to limited storage capacity. The edge…

We consider a common case of the combinatorial semi-bandit problem, the $m$-set semi-bandit, where the learner exactly selects $m$ arms from the total $d$ arms. In the adversarial setting, the best regret bound, known to be…

A main problem of "Follow the Perturbed Leader" strategies for online decision problems is that regret bounds are typically proven against oblivious adversary. In partial observation cases, it was not clear how to obtain performance…

We consider the problem of service hosting where a service provider can dynamically rent edge resources via short term contracts to ensure better quality of service to its customers. The service can also be partially hosted at the edge, in…

We study online control of time-varying linear systems with unknown dynamics in the nonstochastic control model. At a high level, we demonstrate that this setting is \emph{qualitatively harder} than that of either unknown time-invariant or…

An efficient caching can be achieved by predicting the popularity of the files accurately. It is well known that the popularity of a file can be nudged by using recommendation, and hence it can be estimated accurately leading to an…
