CATIE (Centre Aquitain des Technologies de l’Information et Électroniques) is a non-profit organization created in 2014 based in the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine. As a technology resources center specialized in digital technology, its main mission is to support SMEs and intermediate size companies in their digital transformation and to help them embracing and integrating related technologies.

Our collaboration with CATIE is about machine learning and optimization. We focus on problems related to shortest path problem with side constraints.

Abstract: In this work, we propose a generic heuristic for the resource-constrained shortest path problem derived from dynamic programming reformulations of hard combinatorial optimization problems. The approach is a machine-learning (ML)-augmented beam search [Read more]

In November, we had the first workshop for project ACME et Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées.

Project ACME is funded by PEPR MOBIDEC. The program aims to mobilize the national research community and transportation ecosystem stakeholders to:

  1. Understand mobility of goods and peopleand anticipate the mobility of goods and people
  2. Help collect, structure, and interpret mobility data
  3. Provide decision-making tools to simulate the impact of public policies and evaluate the relevance of new transport solutions

Our projet studies optimization methods for horizontal collaboration in logistics.

Abstract: In this paper, we study how a regulatory constraint limiting a measure of unserved demand, called Loss Of Load Expectation (LOLE), can be incorporated into a strategic version of a stochastic generation and transmission expansion planning problem. Th [Read more]

We consider general aggregation/disaggregation techniques to address optimization problems that are expressed with the help of sequential decision processes. Our main goals are threefold: a generic formalism that encompasses the aforementioned techniques ; more efficient algorithms to control the aggregation procedures ; open-source codes that leverage and integrate these algorithms to efficiently solve hard combinatorial problems in different application fields.

On s’intéresse au problème de maximiser la valeur d’un flot dans un hypergraphe de décision. Ce formalisme permet de modéliser toute une classe de problèmes de découpe guillotine, en particulier le problème du sac à dos guillotine 2D. Je présenterai notre algorithme de résolution, basé sur un algorithme d’étiquettes muni de bornes supérieures améliorées, issues de la programmation linéaire.

En particulier, je rappellerai la méthodologie de génération d’hyperarcs déjà introduite dans la littérature qui permet de résoudre le LP très rapidement en pratique sur de grosses instances, puis je présenterai nos inégalités valides, ainsi qu’une manière dont les bornes peuvent être incluses dans un algorithme d’étiquettes. Je présenterai également les résultats expérimentaux, qui démontrent l’efficacité de notre algorithme par rapport aux autres méthodes proposées dans la littérature.

On s’intéresse au problème d’optimiser une fonction objectif \(g(W x) + c^T x\) pour \(x\) entier, où chaque coordonnée de \(x\) est contrainte dans un intervalle. On suppose que la matrice \(W\) est à coefficient entiers de valeur absolue bornée par \(\Delta\), et qu’elle projette \(x\) sur un espace de petite dimension \(m << n\). Ce problème est une généralisation du résultat de Hunkenschröder et al. dans lequel \(g\) est séparable convexe, et \(x\) est dans un \(0-1\) hypercube.
