A Scalable Two Stage Approach to Computing Optimal Decision Sets
Machine learning (ML) is ubiquitous in modern life. Since it is being deployed in technologies that affect our privacy and safety, it is often crucial to understand the reasoning behind its decisions, warranting the need for explainable AI. Rule-based models, such as decision trees, decision lists, and decision sets, are conventionally deemed to be the

A hybrid combinatorial approach to a two-stage stochastic portfolio optimization model with uncertain asset prices [PDF]
Portfolio optimization is one of the most important problems in the finance field. The traditional Markowitz mean-variance model is often unrealistic since it relies on the perfect market information.

Dual Approach for Two-Stage Robust Nonlinear Optimization.
Adjustable robust minimization problems where the objective or constraints depend in a convex way on the adjustable variables are generally difficult to solve. In this paper, we reformulate the original adjustable robust nonlinear problem with a polyhedral uncertainty set into an equivalent adjustable robust linear problem, for which all existing ...

Nonlinear Optimization-Based Robust Control Approach for a Two-Stage Anaerobic Digestion Process
A two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) process has been applied to improve the efficiency of methane production from various organic materials. However, the performance of traditional process controllers may be limited by differences in the rate of ...

TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION UNDER EMBODIMENT: A TWO-STAGE OPTIMAL CONTROL APPROACH [PDF]
We use two-stage optimal control techniques to solve some adoption problems under embodied technical change. We first solve a benchmark problem without learning behavior. At the date of switching, the consumption level is shown to drop, as the relative price of capital goes down (obsolescence).

Decomposition-Based Approaches for a Class of Two-Stage Robust Binary Optimization Problems [PDF]
In this paper, we study a class of two-stage robust binary optimization problems with objective uncertainty, where recourse decisions are restricted to be mixed-binary. For these problems, we present a deterministic equivalent formulation through the convexification of the recourse-feasible region.
