Calibrating artificial neural networks by global optimization
(Elsevier, 2012-01)Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used extensively to model unknown or unspecified functional relationships between the input and output of a “black box” system. In order to apply the generic ANN concept to actual ... -
Calibrating artificial neural networks by global optimization
(2010-07)An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model − implemented as a computer program − that is aimed at emulating the key features and operations of biological neural networks. ANNs are extensively used to model ... -
A capacitated mobile facility location problem with mobile demand: Recurrent service provision to en route refugees
(OpenProceedings.org, 2022)In this paper, we help humanitarian organizations provide service via mobile facilities (MFs) to migrating refugees, who attempt to cross international borders. Over a planning horizon, we aim to optimize number and routes ... -
Capacitated stochastic lot-sizing and production planning problem under demand uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2022)This paper proposes two multi-period, multi-item capacitated stochastic lot-sizing problems under demand uncertainty. We model uncertainty via a scenario tree. The first model considers production, inventory, backlogging, ... -
Capacity planning for effective cohorting of hemodialysis patients during the coronavirus pandemic: A case study
(Elsevier, 2023-01-01)Planning treatments of different types of patients have become challenging in hemodialysis clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased demands and uncertainties. In this study, we address capacity planning decisions ... -
A CART-based genetic algorithm for constructing higher accuracy decision trees
(SciTePress, 2020)Decision trees are among the most popular classification methods due to ease of implementation and simple interpretation. In traditional methods like CART (classification and regression tree), ID4, C4.5; trees are constructed ... -
A chance constraint based multi-item production planning model using simulation optimization
(IEEE, 2016)We consider a single stage multi-item production-inventory system under stochastic demand. We had previously proposed a production planning model integrating ideas from forecast evolution and inventory theory to plan work ... -
Churn prediction for mobile prepaid subscribers
(Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communicatio, 2017)In telecommunication, mobile operators prefer to acquire postpaid subscribers and increase their incoming revenue based on the usage of postpaid lines. However, subscribers tend to buy and use prepaid mobile lines because ... -
Classification of hundreds of classes: A case study in a bank internal control department
(IOS Press, 2023)The main function of the internal control department of a bank is to inspect the banking operations to see if they are performed in accordance with the regulations and bank policies. To accomplish this, they pick up a ... -
Collaborative prepositioning network design for regional disaster response
(Wiley, 2019-10)We present a collaborative prepositioning strategy to strengthen the disaster preparedness of the Caribbean countries, which are frequently hit by hurricanes. Since different subsets of countries are affected in each ... -
A column generation-based approach for the adaptive stochastic blood donation tailoring problem
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)Managing blood donations is a challenging problem due to the perishability of blood, limited donor pool, deferral time restrictions, and demand uncertainty. The problem addressed here combines two important aspects of blood ... -
Combining and solving sequence dependent traveling salesman and quadratic assignment problems in PCB assembly
(Elsevier, 2015-09-10)In this study we undertake the optimization of chip shooter component placement machines which became popular in assembling printed circuit boards (PCB) in recent years. A PCB is usually a rectangular plastic board on which ... -
Comparison of computational intelligence models on forecasting automated teller machine cash demands
(Old City Publishing, 2020)We take up the problem of forecasting the amount of money to be withdrawn from automated teller machines (ATM). We compare the performances of eleven different algorithms from four different research areas on two different ... -
A computational study of lower bounds for the two dimensional bin packing problem
(Elsevier, 2010-08-01)We survey lower bounds for the variant of the two-dimensional bin packing problem where items cannot be rotated. We prove that the dominance relation claimed by Carlier et al. between their lower bounds and those of Boschetti ... -
A continuous approximation approach for assessment routing in disaster relief
(Elsevier, 2013-04)In this paper, we focus on the assessment routing problem which routes teams to different communities to assess damage and relief needs following a disaster. To address time-sensitivity, the routing problem is modeled with ... -
Contributions to humanitarian and non-profit operations: Equity impacts on modeling and solution approaches
Equity has been acknowledged as an important concern in designing and managing humanitarian and non-profit operations over the past decade. Given the significant demands for relief supplies created by a disaster and the ... -
A coordinated repair routing problem for post-disaster recovery of interdependent infrastructure networks
(Springer, 2022-12)Disasters may cause significant damages and long-lasting failures in lifeline infrastructure networks (such as gas, power and water), which must be recovered quickly to resume providing essential services to the affected ... -
Coordinating collection and appointment scheduling operations at the blood donation sites
(Elsevier, 2015-09)According to the regulations imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American Association of Blood Banks, in order to extract platelets, donated blood units have to be processed at a processing center ... -
Cost allocation mechanisms in a peer‐to‐peer network
(Wiley, 2019-01)This study analyzes a cooperative game between a service provider and a set of users. We consider a P2P network where the service provider broadcasts the content across the network and the users collaborate to seed the ... -
Cost of fairness in agent scheduling for contact centers
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022-03)We study a workforce scheduling problem faced in contact centers with considerations on a fair distribution of shifts in compliance with agentpreferences. We develop a mathematical model that aims to minimize operatingcosts ...
