Nanqiang Lecture Series

【Topic】

Mathematical Optimization in Machine Learning/Decision Making

【Host】

Prof. ZHUANG Weifen, Department of Management Science, School of Management, Xiamen University

【Abstract】

The speaker will present a few recent mathematical optimization real world case studies in Data Science and Machine-Learning. He will show how newly developed optimization models and numerical algorithms/solvers can be effectively used to achieve learning and decision-making efficiency and optimality in many fields, including Policy Training in Reinforcement Learning, Wireless Ad-Hoc Sensor Network Localization/Tracking, Service Covering and Partitioning, Energy Management and Optimal PEV Charging/Discharging, Dynamic Unit-Commitment (to balance demand and supply) for Power-Grid, and High-Speed Railway Scheduling. Professor Ye will also give a light talk to students in general on how to balance academic study and other life activities such as sport.
