A Machine Learning Approach to Two-Stage Adaptive Robust Optimization

ArXi:2307.12409v3 Announce Type: replace We propose an approach based on machine learning to solve two-stage linear adaptive robust optimization (ARO) problems with binary here-and-now variables and polyhedral uncertainty sets. We encode the optimal here-and-now decisions, the worst-case scenarios associated with the optimal here-and-now decisions, and the optimal wait-and-see decisions into what we denote as the strategy. We solve multiple similar ARO instances in advance using the column and constraint generation algorithm and extract the optimal strategies to generate a.
