Rank-based Learning with deep neural network has been widely used for image cropping. However, the performance of ranking-based methods is often poor and this is mainly due to two reasons: 1) image cropping is a listwise ranking task rather…

We consider the Single School Routing Problem (SSRP) where students from a single school are picked up by a fleet of school buses, subject to a set of constraints. The constraints that are typically imposed for school buses are bus…

We present a finitely convergent cutting-plane algorithm for solving a general mixed-integer convex program given an oracle for solving a general convex program. This method is extended to solve a family of two-stage mixed-integer convex…

Despite the extensive research efforts and the remarkable results obtained on Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) by using algorithms proposed by the Machine Learning community that are partially or entirely based on data-driven analysis, most…

An optimal data partitioning in parallel & distributed implementation of clustering algorithms is a necessary computation as it ensures independent task completion, fair distribution, less number of affected points and better & faster…

In this paper we discuss a sequential algorithm for the computation of a minimum-time speed profile over a given path, under velocity, acceleration and jerk constraints. Such a problem arises in industrial contexts such as automated…

Recent work on deep clustering has found new promising methods also for constrained clustering problems. Their typically pairwise constraints often can be used to guide the partitioning of the data. Many problems however, feature…

Cutting planes for mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs) are typically computed in rounds by iteratively solving optimization problems, the so-called separation. Instead, we reframe the problem of finding good cutting planes as a continuous…

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a popular generalization of the Traveling Salesperson Problem. Instead of one salesperson traversing the entire weighted, undirected graph $G$, there are $k$ vehicles available to jointly cover the set…

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been intensively used for multi-class segmentation of data from different modalities and achieved state-of-the-art performances. However, a common problem when dealing with large, high…

This paper provides a systematic overview of machine learning methods applied to solve NP-hard Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs). Recently, there has been a great interest from both machine learning and operations research communities to…

Given a set V of n elements on m attributes, we want to find a partition of V on the minimum number of clusters such that the associated R-squared ratio is at least a given threshold. We denote this problem as Goal Clustering (GC). This…

In distributed training of deep neural networks, people usually run Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) or its variants on each machine and communicate with other machines periodically. However, SGD might converge slowly in training some deep…

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a robust machine learning algorithm with broad applications in classification, regression, and outlier detection. SVM requires tuning the regularization parameter (RP) which controls the model capacity and…

As VLSI designs grow in complexity, partitioning is widely adopted to accelerate physical design through parallel computing. However, traditional hypergraph partitioning methods often degrade in performance when applied to 2D layouts due to…

The Maximum Cut (MaxCut) problem is NP-Complete, and obtaining its optimal solution is NP-hard in the worst case. As a result, heuristic-based algorithms are commonly used, though their design often requires significant domain expertise.…

A new approach to solving a large class of factorable nonlinear programming (NLP) problems to global optimality is presented in this paper. Unlike the traditional strategy of partitioning the decision-variable space employed in many…

Temporal dependencies between customer visits, such as synchronization constraints, pose a fundamental challenge in vehicle routing. These dependencies, which arise in applications such as home healthcare routing, aircraft scheduling, and…

We study the load balanced capacitated vehicle routing problem (LBCVRP): the problem is to design a collection of tours for a fixed fleet of vehicles with capacity Q to distribute a supply from a single depot between a number of predefined…

Deep learning algorithms are increasingly employed at the edge. However, edge devices are resource constrained and thus require efficient deployment of deep neural networks. Pruning methods are a key tool for edge deployment as they can…
