摘要：
Uncertainty is an inevitable element in real-world systems and has a significant impact on the system performance. In the last decades,robust optimization approaches has been adopted as a powerful tool to model uncertain parameters with inexact distributions and seek optimal robust decisions. In this talk, I will first discuss how to handle uncertaindemands in multi-period inventory management and uncertain travel times in intelligent transportation systems by proposing novel distributionally robust optimization models. We explicitly characterize the impact of mean-covariance information of uncertain factors on system performance and deliver interesting managerial insights. Then, I will introduce our newly proposed parametric search algorithm, which provides an exact and flexible solution framework for distributionally robust optimization models with orders of magnitude speedup over state-of-the-art algorithms. Finally, I will discuss how to establish data-driven models by integrating machine learning with robust optimization.
