Excited to attend my first PhD defence at TU Delft: Daniël Vos will be defending his thesis "Decision Tree Learning: Algorithms for Robust Prediction and Policy Optimization", containing work he did under supervision of Prof. Dr. Ir. R.L. Lagendijk and Dr. Ir. Sicco Verwer.

Thanks again to @Francy_Maggioni for the rich talk about bounds for Multistage #StochasticOptimization and Distributionally #RobustOptimization!
A lot of people from Italy, Brazil, and more attended the first webinar co-organized with @log_ufpb
Stay tuned for the next ones😉 https://t.co/lKa2LuVeJY

Our preprint "Finding Regions of Counterfactual Explanations via Robust Optimization" (written together with Donato Maragno, Tabea Röber, Rob Goedhart, Ilker Birbil and Dick den Hertog) is available online now.

We completely revised our paper "Data-driven Prediction of Relevant Scenarios for Robust Combinatorial Optimization" (written together with Marc Goerigk) and replaced the old method by a completely new data-driven algorithm which generalizes well to problem instances which are of larger dimension than the training instances.

I'm happy to share that our paper "Data-driven robust optimization using deep neural networks" (written together with Marc Goerigk) is published now in Computers & OR.

We study #robustoptimization problems where observations of the uncertain parameters are given by historical data. On this data we train one-class deep #neuralnetworks to detect outliers and extract the hidden data structures from the observations.
