2017-09-26BuchA randomized method for handling a difficult function in a convex optimization problem, motivated by probabilistic programming We propose a randomized gradient method for the handling of a convex function whose gradient computation is demanding. The method bears a resemblance to the stochastic approximation family. But in contrast to stochastic ...

2017-07-31BuchLearning Enabled Optimization: Towards a Fusion of Statistical Learning and Stochastic Optimization Several emerging applications, such as “Analytics of Things" and “Integrative Analytics" call for a fusion of statistical learning (SL) and stochastic optimization (SO). The Learning Enabled Optimization paradigm fuses ...

2017-04-19BuchOptimal scenario generation and reduction in stochastic programming Scenarios are indispensable ingredients for the numerical solution of stochastic optimization problems. Earlier approaches for optimal scenario generation and reduction are based on stability arguments involving distances ...

2017-02-21BuchScenariao Reduction Revisited: Fundamental Limits and Gurarantees The goal of scenario reduction is to approximate a given discrete distributionwith another discrete distribution that has fewer atoms. We distinguishcontinuous scenario reduction, where the new atoms may be chosen freely, ...
