摘要:

机器学习预测器虽然在处理与训练数据相似的输入时能取得非常好的结果,但不可能在所有情况下都提供完美的预测。然而,基于此类预测器的决策系统不仅需要从好的预测中获益,还要在预测不当时也能取得不错的性能。在本文中,我们针对任意度量任务系统(MTS)(例如缓存、k-server和凸体追逐)以及线上的在线匹配问题,提出了一种预测设置。我们利用在线算法理论的结果来展示如何使该设置具有鲁棒性。专门针对缓存问题,我们提出了一种算法,其性能作为预测误差的函数,比一般MTS所能达到的性能呈指数级提升。最后,我们在真实世界的数据集上对我们的方法进行了实证评估,结果表明其具有实用性。

英文摘要:

Machine-learned predictors, although achieving very good results for inputs resembling training data, cannot possibly provide perfect predictions in all situations. Still, decision-making systems that are based on such predictors need not only to benefit from good predictions but also to achieve a decent performance when the predictions are inadequate. In this paper, we propose a prediction setup for arbitrary metrical task systems (MTS) (e.g., caching, k-server and convex body chasing) and online matching on the line. We utilize results from the theory of online algorithms to show how to make the setup robust. Specifically for caching, we present an algorithm whose performance, as a function of the prediction error, is exponentially better than what is achievable for general MTS. Finally, we present an empirical evaluation of our methods on real world datasets, which suggests practicality.
