Deterministic Online

Deterministic online algorithms address the challenge of making optimal decisions in real-time without the benefit of future information, focusing on efficiency and robustness. Current research explores diverse applications, including system identification (using adaptive algorithms and deterministic annealing), resource allocation (like online conversion with switching costs), and classification (employing reweighted least-squares methods). These advancements offer improved performance and interpretability compared to stochastic approaches, with implications for various fields such as energy management, machine learning, and online preference aggregation.
