- robustness to large market condition shifts,

- algorithms applied to the above topics: deep learning, reinforcement learning, multi-armed bandits, causal inference, mathematical programming, and stochastic optimization,

- applications: ridesharing, online retail, food delivery, house rental, real estate, and more.

We welcome full research papers, position papers, and extended abstracts. Papers that are under review at another conference or journal are acceptable for submission at this workshop, but we will not accept papers that have already been accepted or published at a venue with formal proceedings (including KDD 2023). All accepted papers will be archived on the workshop website, but there will not be formal proceedings.

Extended abstracts should not exceed 2 pages, excluding references. No supplement is allowed for extended abstracts.

Review Process: Each full paper will be reviewed by three PC members, while extended abstracts will not be reviewed. The acceptance decisions will take in account novelty, technical depth and quality, insightfulness, depth, elegance, practical or theoretical impact, reproducibility and presentation.
