With advances in generative AI, decision-making agents can now dynamically create new actions during online learning, but action generation typically incurs costs that must be balanced against potential benefits. We study an online learning problem where an agent can generate new actions at any time…
Collaborative exploration is a prevailing trend of autonomous exploration by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, most collaborative exploration systems rely on excessively high communication bandwidth for precise map maintenance and efficient task allocation. This letter proposes a low-bandwid
We study an online contextual dynamic pricing problem, where customers decide whether to purchase a product based on its features and price. We introduce a novel approach to modeling a customer's expected demand by incorporating feature-based price elasticity, which can be equivalently represented a…
We present a Multi-Stereoscopic Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) system capable of integrating an arbitrary number of stereo cameras, exhibiting excellent robustness in the face of visually challenging scenarios. During system initialization, we introduce multi-view keyframes for simultaneous processi
We study the problem of online dynamic pricing with two types of fairness constraints: a “procedural fairness” which requires the “proposed” prices to be equal in expectation among different groups, and a “substantive fairness” which requires the “accepted” prices to be equal in expectation among di…
As a popular drone application, autonomous exploration suffers from low efficiency. To address the issue of repeated and unnecessary exploration, especially in a large-scale and cluttered environment, this letter proposes an efficient heuristic viewpoint determination method on frontier-based autono
The recent LLMs like GPT-4 and PaLM-2 have made tremendous progress in solving fundamental math problems like GSM8K by achieving over 90% accuracy. However, their capabilities to solve more challenging math problems which require domain-specific knowledge (i.e. theorem) have yet to be investigated.…
In feature-based dynamic pricing, a seller sets appropriate prices for a sequence of products (described by feature vectors) on the fly by learning from the binary outcomes of previous sales sessions ("Sold" if valuation $\geq$ price, and "Not Sold" otherwise). Existing works either assume noiseless…
Feature-based dynamic pricing is an increasingly popular model of setting prices for highly differentiated products with applications in digital marketing, online sales, real estate and so on. The problem was formally studied as an online learning problem [Javanmard & Nazerzadeh, 2019] where a selle…
