Improved Approximation Algorithms for Orthogonally Constrained Problems Using Semidefinite Optimization

Ryan Cory-Wright, Jean Pauphilet

Building on the blueprint from Goemans and Williamson (1995) for the Max-Cut problem, we construct a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for orthogonally constrained quadratic…

Adaptive Optimization for Prediction with Missing Data

Dimitris Bertsimas, Arthur Delarue, Jean Pauphilet

When training predictive models on data with missing entries, the most widely used and versatile approach is a pipeline technique where we first impute missing entries and then com…
