Real world problems often require complex modeling and computation efforts to be effectively addressed. Relying solely on data-driven approaches without integrating physics-based models can result in limited predictive capabilities. Even advanced techniques such as deep learning may be impractical for decision-makers due to the lack of data and challenges in justifying and explaining results. In … Read more
Explainable artificial intelligence is one of the most important trends in modern machine-learning research. The idea is to explain the outcome of a model by presenting a certain change in the input of the model so that the outcome changes significantly. In this paper, we study this question for linear optimization problems as an automated … Read more
Stochastic programming (SP) is a well-studied framework for modeling optimization problems under uncertainty. However, despite the significant advancements in solving large SP models, they are not widely used in industrial practice, often because SP solutions are difficult to understand and hence not trusted by the user. Unlike deterministic optimization models, SP models generally involve recourse … Read more
