Bayesian Contextual Bandits optimize warehouse sorters, outperforming other ML frameworks · arXiv paper

A new research paper compares three machine learning frameworks for optimizing real-time sorter diversion control in e-commerce warehouses. The study found that Bayesian Contextual Bandits (BCB) achieved a 2.03% reward uplift over a heuristic baseline, outperforming Linear Regression with Gradient Descent Optimization and XGBoost with Bayesian Optimization. BCB demonstrated superior characteristics including a time-optimal policy, continuous online learning, and shorter inference latency, suggesting its potential for operational deployment in large-scale warehouse environments.
