Optimization-based strategic planning for geographical healthcare accessibility in developing countries: a literature review

Laura Davila-Pena, Maria Paola Scaparra, Dick den Hertog

Access to healthcare facilities is a critical issue in developing countries, where limited resources and significant challenges hinder progress toward universal health coverage, on…

Linear Model Extraction via Factual and Counterfactual Queries

Daan Otto, Jannis Kurtz, Dick den Hertog +1

In model extraction attacks, the goal is to reveal the parameters of a black-box machine learning model by querying the model for a selected set of data points. Due to an increasin…

A K-adaptability Approach to Proton Radiation Therapy Robust Treatment Planning

Zihang Qiu, Ali Ajdari, Mislav Bobić +4

Uncertainties such as setup and range errors can significantly compromise proton therapy. A discrete uncertainty set is often constructed to represent different uncertainty scenari…

Robust Optimization of Rank-Dependent Models with Uncertain Probabilities

Guanyu Jin, Roger J. A. Laeven, Dick den Hertog

This paper studies distributionally robust optimization for a rich class of risk measures with ambiguity sets defined by -divergences. The risk measures are allowed to be non-l…

Constructing Uncertainty Sets for Robust Risk Measures: A Composition of -Divergences Approach to Combat Tail Uncertainty

Guanyu Jin, Roger J. A. Laeven, Dick den Hertog +1

Risk measures, which typically evaluate the impact of extreme losses, are highly sensitive to misspecification in the tails. This paper studies a robust optimization approach to co…
