ABM-SIRTEM: A Hybrid Agent-Based and Epidemiological Model for Pandemic Response
Sheryl Paul, Samuel Williams, Preetom K. Biswas +2
The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound impacts on global health, social structures, and economies. It disproportionately affected lower socioeconomic groups and those reliant on in…
A Consistency-Centric Approach to Set-Based Optimization with Multiple Models of Unranked Fidelity
Danielle F. Morey, Giulia Pedrielli, Cherry Y. Wakayama +1
In complex real-world settings, optimization is challenged by the presence of diverse models of differing fidelity. In many optimization problems, a single model is treated as the…
Branching Adaptive Surrogate Search Optimization (BASSO)
Pariyakorn Maneekul, Zelda B. Zabinsky, Giulia Pedrielli
Global optimization of black-box functions is challenging in high dimensions. We introduce a conceptual adaptive random search framework, Branching Adaptive Surrogate Search Optimi…
A Stochastic Record-Value Approach to Global Simulation Optimization
Rohan Rele, Zelda Zabinsky, Giulia Pedrielli +1
Black-box optimization is ubiquitous in machine learning, operations research and engineering simulation. Black-box optimization algorithms typically do not assume structural infor…
