arXiv:2606.01342v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-augmented paging has been extensively studied in recent years. A key advantage over naive ML-based approaches is \emph{bounded robustness}, which guarantees worst-case performance even when predictions are inaccurate, making these algorithms valuable for real-world systems. Prior work achieves robustness bounds of $2H_k + O(1)$ in the randomized setting, leaving a gap to the optimal competitive ratio $H_k$. In this paper, we study how to close this gap. We begin by reviewing online optimality and proving a new property of the latest $H
The continuous evolution of AI and machine learning necessitates advanced algorithmic robustness to ensure real-world applicability and reliability.
Improving robustness in learning-augmented algorithms makes AI systems more trustworthy and predictable, opening up their use in critical applications where worst-case performance guarantees are essential.
This research aims to close the theoretical gap in optimal robustness for learning-augmented paging, offering a foundation for more resilient and efficient algorithmic designs.
