ML Compass: Navigating Capability, Cost, and Compliance Trade-offs in AI Model Deployment

Vassilis Digalakis, Ramayya Krishnan, Gonzalo Martin Fernandez +1

We study how organizations should select among competing AI models when user utility, deployment costs, and compliance requirements jointly matter. Widely used capability leaderboa…

The Challenger: When Do New Data Sources Justify Switching Machine Learning Models?

Vassilis Digalakis, Christophe Pérignon, Sébastien Saurin +1

Organizations often have an incumbent predictive model in production when new data sources become available. Because historical training data lack the new features, a challenger mo…

Interpretable Time Series Autoregression for Periodicity Quantification

Xinyu Chen, Vassilis Digalakis, Lijun Ding +2

Time series autoregression (AR) is a classical tool for modeling auto-correlations and periodic structures in real-world systems. We revisit this model from an interpretable machin…

Towards Stable Machine Learning Model Retraining via Slowly Varying Sequences

Dimitris Bertsimas, Vassilis Digalakis, Yu Ma +1

We consider the problem of retraining machine learning (ML) models when new batches of data become available. Existing approaches greedily optimize for predictive power independent…
