Thursday at 12pm Poster Session
Neur2SP: Neural Two-Stage Stochastic Programming
with Justin Dumouchelle, @Rpatel_15, @meurevine

https://t.co/6yWkrLldl6

Train a ReLU network to approximate a complex expected value in a 2-stage stoch. program -> fast near-optimal solutions!

@bolin0812 Congrats Bo! Interesting work.

[Rahul Patel @Rpatel_15]

@Anmol9410 @jsdumouchelle @lyeskhalil @meurevine Thanks Anmol :)

[Rahul Patel @Rpatel_15]

Extremely happy to share that Neur2SP: Neural Two Stage Stochastic Program, joint work with @jsdumouchelle, @lyeskhalil and @meurevine got accepted at #NeurIPS2022. The journey of Neur2SP from a course project to #NeurIPS2022 was pretty exciting. [1/3]

[Rahul Patel @Rpatel_15]

@my_tray @jsdumouchelle @lyeskhalil @meurevine Thanks, Maitrey!

[Rahul Patel @Rpatel_15]

@johnpdickerson @jsdumouchelle @lyeskhalil @meurevine Thank you. :)

Code will be released soon.

Feel free to reach out to learn more about it. 🙂 [3/3]

[Rahul Patel @Rpatel_15]

We train Neural Nets with ReLU activation to predict the second stage cost function of two-stage stochastic programs.

It helps in formulating a problem structure agnostic surrogate MIP to quickly find a good feasible solution. [2/3]

I am excited to share my latest work: 8-bit optimizers – a replacement for regular optimizers. Faster 🚀, 75% less memory 🪶, same performance📈, no hyperparam tuning needed 🔢. 🧵/n
