Paper explores online interval selection with binary predictions

This paper introduces a new approach to online interval selection, focusing on binary predictions for membership in an optimal solution. The proposed method achieves a consistency bound of $d=(3+\sqrt5)/2$ under finite strict robustness, with a deterministic algorithm that attains this bound with exact robustness. The work also explores a tunable replacement cost that offers a continuous family of solutions with exact consistency and robustness on specific parameter intervals. Randomization is discussed as a means to approach expected consistency of one with finite expected robustness, though almost-sure robustness requires expected consistency strictly above two. AI

IMPACT Introduces theoretical advancements in online decision-making with binary predictions, potentially impacting AI systems that require sequential decision-making under uncertainty.

    Online Interval Selection with Binary Predictions: Optimal Consistency and a Continuous Robustness Tradeoff

    We study online interval selection with binary predictions of membership in a final optimal solution. Requests arrive in arbitrary order; accepted requests may be revoked, but rejected or revoked requests cannot be recovered. With rewards proportional to interval length, the best…
