September 27 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Efficient Branching Rules for Optimizing Range and Order-Based Objective Functions 1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States We consider range minimization problems featuring exponentially many variables, as frequently arising in fairness-oriented or bi-objective optimization. While branch and price is successful at solving cost-oriented problems with many variables, the performance of classical branch-and-price algorithms for range minimization is drastically impaired by weak linear programming relaxations. We propose range branching, a generic branching... Free

October 4 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Exact Label Recovery in Euclidean Random Graphs 1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States In this paper, we propose a family of label recovery problems on weighted Euclidean random graphs. The vertices of a graph are embedded in R^d according to a Poisson point process and are assigned to a discrete community label. Our goal is to infer the vertex labels, given edge weights whose distributions depend on the... Free
