ORC: An Online Competitive Algorithm for Recommendation and Charging Schedule in Electric Vehicle Charging Network

Bo Sun, Tongxin Li, Steven H. Low, Danny H. K. Tsang

ACM International Conference on Future Energy Systems

How can charging recommendations and schedules be coordinated online?

ORC jointly recommends stations and prices while scheduling charging for sequential arrivals. A customizable value function supports competitive guarantees despite uncertainty in arrivals and user choices. Experiments compare operator revenue with benchmark scheduling methods.

Counterfactual load forecasting with LLM-structured events and representation learning

Yujie Chen, Yifei Gao, Runyao Yu, Yuhe Wu, Guangyu Wang, Yue Chen, Tongxin Li

NACF turns news into structured treatments and estimates load trajectories under alternative event conditions. Reweighting and representation balancing address observed confounding. Experiments examine factual accuracy and interpretable demand perturbations without claiming that unobserved counterfactual outcomes can be directly validated.

Leveraging Machine-Learned Advice in Strategic Interactions with No-Regret Learners

Tinashe Handina, Tongxin Li, Kishan Panaganti, Eric Mazumdar, Adam Wierman

A measure of advice quality connects simulators and payoff predictions to strategic performance. The paper establishes benefits of reliable advice for approximate Stackelberg play and limitations on simultaneously exploiting accurate advice and protecting against inaccurate advice.
