The day-ahead energy and reserve management with transmission restrictions and voltage security limits is a challenging task for large-scale power systems in the presence of real-time variations caused by the uncertain demand and the…
This thesis addressed the HHCRSP, which is a class of workforce scheduling problems. The HHCRSP is an extension of the VRPTW to which the constraints related to the HHC context are added. It aims to provide care services to patients at…
Heart failure (HF) contributes to circa 200,000 annual hospitalizations in France. With the increasing age of HF patients, elucidating the specific causes of inpatient mortality became a public health problematic. We introduce a novel…
Modeling long sequences of user behaviors has emerged as a critical frontier in generative recommendation. However, existing solutions face a dilemma: linear attention mechanisms achieve efficiency at the cost of retrieval precision due to…
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense strain on hospital systems worldwide, leading to critical capacity challenges. This research proposes a two-part framework to optimize hospital capacity through patient relocation strategies. The…
Technology has the opportunity to assist older adults as they age in place, coordinate caregiving resources, and meet unmet needs through access to resources. Currently, older adults use consumer technologies to support everyday life,…
Stability and protection of the electrical power systems are always of primary concern. Stability can be affected mostly by increase in the load demand. Power grids are overloaded in peak hours so more power generation units are required to…
Sequential recommendation aims to choose the most suitable items for a user at a specific timestamp given historical behaviors. Existing methods usually model the user behavior sequence based on the transition-based methods like Markov…
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the United States and similar systems typically utilize a single treatment pathway, transporting all patients to emergency departments (EDs), regardless of their actual care needs or preferences. Recent…
This paper studies joint spectrum allocation and user association in large heterogeneous cellular networks. The objective is to maximize some network utility function based on given traffic statistics collected over a slow timescale,…
A planner allocates discrete transfers of size $D_g$ to $N$ heterogeneous groups labeled $g$ and has CES preferences over the resulting outcomes, $H_g(D_g)$. We derive a closed-form solution for optimally allocating a fixed budget subject…
Accurately predicting hospital readmission risks using electronic health records (EHRs) is critical for effective patient management and healthcare resource allocation. Patient populations in health systems are highly heterogeneous across…
Virtual health counselors offer the potential to provide users with information and counseling in complex areas such as disease management and health education. However, ensuring user engagement is challenging, particularly when the volume…
Effectively medication recommendation with complex multimorbidity conditions is a critical task in healthcare. Most existing works predicted medications based on longitudinal records, which assumed the information transmitted patterns of…
We initiate the study of the heterogeneous facility location problem with limited resources. We mainly focus on the fundamental case where a set of agents are positioned in the line segment [0,1] and have approval preferences over two…
We propose our solution to a particular practical problem in the domain of vehicle routing and scheduling. The generic task is finding the best allocation of the minimum number of \emph{mobile resources} that can provide periodical services…
The concept of care pathways is increasingly being used to enhance the quality of care and to optimize the use of resources for health care. Nevertheless, recommendations regarding the sequence of care are mostly based on consensus-based…
Existing strategies for determining the optimal treatment or monitoring strategy typically assume unlimited access to resources. However, when a health system has resource constraints, such as limited funds, access to medication, or…
The mobile communication enabled by cellular networks is the one of the main foundations of our modern society. Optimizing the performance of cellular networks and providing massive connectivity with improved coverage and user experience…
The rise of machine learning has shifted targeted resource allocation in policy and humanitarian settings toward algorithmic targeting based on predicted risk scores. This approach is typically cheaper and faster than traditional screening…
