Decision-making pipelines increasingly rely on prediction models whose outputs serve as inputs to downstream optimization problems. Decision-Focused Learning (DFL) has emerged as a promising approach to training such models by directly optimizing decision quality rather than predictive accuracy alon
Contextual Inverse Optimization (CIO) is a generalized framework of the predict-then-optimize approach, also referred to as decision-focused learning or contextual optimization, aiming to learn a model that predicts the unknown parameters of a nominal optimization problem using related covariates wi
Multi-objective optimization aims to find a set of solutions that achieve the best trade-off among multiple conflicting objective functions. While various multi-objective optimization algorithms have been proposed so far, most of them aim to find finite solutions as an approximation of the Pareto se…
We consider the quantum kernelized bandit problem, where the player observes information of rewards through quantum circuits termed the quantum reward oracle, and the mean reward function belongs to a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). We propose a UCB-type algorithm that utilizes the quantum…
