OR Seminar – Algorithmic, combinatorial, and geometric aspects of linear optimization

Bahen Centre 40 St George St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Antoine Deza (McMaster University) Abstract The simplex and interior point methods are currently the most computationally successful algorithms for linear optimization. While the simplex methods follow an edge path, the interior point methods follow the central path. The algorithmic issues are closely related to the combinatorial and geometric structure of the feasible region. Focusing on the analysis […]

MIE Distinguished Seminar Series: Smart Infrastructure for Future Urban Mobility

Mechanical Engineering 5 King's College Rd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Stephen F. Smith (The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University) Abstract: Real-time traffic signal control presents a challenging multi-agent planning problem, particularly in urban road networks where (unlike simpler arterial settings) there are competing dominant traffic flows that shift through the day. Further complicating matters, urban environments require attention to multi-modal traffic flows (vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, […]

OR Seminar – Adaptive design of personalized dose-finding clinical trials

Bahen Centre 40 St George St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Amin Khademi, Clemson University Abstract Identifying the right dose is one the most important decisions in drug development. Significant evidence has recently become available that emphasizes the role of patient covariates in optimal dose, i.e., a dose that is optimal for a patient group may be harmful for others. A key step towards personalized (precision) […]
