    Data collection in application domains like agriculture and environmental science requires the deployment of sensors in large remote areas. These use cases challenge the traditional optimal experimental design (OED) formulation from statistics by their scale as well as the presence of complex operational constraints, such as that data is collected along the trajectory of a … Read more

    Uncertain optimization problems with decision dependent information discovery allow the decision maker to control the timing of information discovery, in contrast to the classic multistage setting where uncertain parameters are revealed sequentially based on a prescribed filtration. This problem class is useful in a wide range of applications, however, its assimilation is partly limited by … Read more
