Sparse tangent portfolio optimization aims to learn an interpretable, low-cardinality portfolio in the tangency direction of the mean–variance frontier, yet the associated cardinality-constrained formulation is NP-hard and standard predict-then-optimize pipelines often misalign forecasting accuracy …
In decision-making problems under uncertainty, predicting unknown parameters is often considered independent of the optimization part. Decision-focused learning (DFL) is a task-oriented framework that integrates prediction and optimization by adapting the predictive model to give better decisions fo…
A neural networks-based stagewise decomposition algorithm called Deep Value Function Networks (DVFN) is proposed for large-scale multistage stochastic programming (MSP) problems. Traditional approaches such as nested Benders decomposition and its stochastic variant, stochastic dual dynamic programmi…
Solving large-scale multistage stochastic programming (MSP) problems poses a significant challenge as commonly used stagewise decomposition algorithms, including stochastic dual dynamic programming (SDDP), face growing time complexity as the subproblem size and problem count increase. Traditional ap…
