The main theme of this edition is “Learning and Optimization from Big Data”\, therefore MESS 2020+1 wants to focus on (i) Learning for Metaheuristics; (ii) Optimization in Machine Learning; and (iii) how Optimization and Learning affect the Metaheuristics making them relevant in handling Big Data. \nParticipants will be delivered a certificate of attendance indicating the number of hours of lectures (36-40 hours of lectures). In according to the academic system all PhD and master students attending to the summer school will may get 8 ECTS points. \n** LIST OF LECTURERS & LECTURES TITLES \n+ Paolo Arena\, Unviersity of Catania\, Italy\nLecture#1: TBA\nLecture#2: TBA \n+ Angelo Cangelosi\, University of Manchester & Alan Turing Institute\, UK\nLecture#1: Cognitive and Developmental Robotics\, part 1\nLecture#2: Cognitive and Developmental Robotics\, part 2 \n+ Swagatam Das\, Indian Statistical Institute\, Kolkata\nLecture#1: Deep Generative Adversarial Networks and Their Application to Class-imbalanced Learning\nLecture#2: Non-convex Constrained Optimization – Some Advanced Approaches \n+ Luca Maria Gambardella\, IDSIA Istituto Dalle Molle for Artificial Intelligence\, Switzerland\nLecture#1: TBA\nLecture#2:  TBA \n+ Salvatore Greco\, University of Catania\, Italy & University of Portsmouth\, UK\nLecture#1: Preference Learning in Multicriteria Decision Support\nLecture#2: Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Guided by Preference Learning \n+ Giuseppe F.

The top three of the competition ranking will receive the MESS 2020+1 prize. Students whose algorithm will rank in the top ten of the competition ranking will be invited to submit a manuscript of their work to be published in the special volume MESS 2020+1 of the AIRO Springer Series. \n** SHORT TALK & POSTER PRESENTATION \nAll participants may submit an abstract of their recent results\, or works in progress\, for presentation and having the opportunities for debate and interact with leaders in the field. Mini-Workshop Organizers and Scientific Committee will review the abstracts and will recommend for the format of the presentation (oral or poster). All abstracts will be published on the electronic hands-out book of the summer school. \nThe Abstracts must be submitted by *March 5\, 2020*. \n*See Previous Edition – MESS 2018* \nhttps://www.ants-lab.it/mess2018/ \n** MORE INFORMATION: \nhttps://www.ANTs-lab.it/mess2020/   —   mess.school@ANTs-lab.it \nFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MetaheuristicsSchool/ \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/MESS_school

SUMMARY:1-week intensive online PhD course in Stochastic Programming
DESCRIPTION:Cluster for Operations Research\, Analytics\, and Logistics (CORAL) at Aarhus BSS has the pleasure of announcing a PhD course in Stochastic Programming\, which will take place online\, 19-23 April 2021. \nLecturer will be Professor Walter Rei\, Department of Management and Technology\, University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM). \nThe general objectives of the course are: \n\nTo introduce students to the overall approach that is used to formulate an optimization problem that involves uncertainty as a stochastic program. This approach entails\, identifying the specific problems for which stochastic programming is an appropriate method to apply\, modelling feasibility and the dynamics of the problem and formulating the objective function.\nTo present the main specialized solution methods that have been developed to solve stochastic programs. Specifically\, a review of the principal exact solution methods and heuristic algorithms will be provided. The focus here will be to present how more efficient solution processes can be obtained by applying a series of tailored strategies\, i.e.\, scenario generation\, mathematical decomposition\, heuristic search principles\, etc.\n\nProfessor Sanne Wøhlk from CORAL is the academic organiser\, so please feel free to contact her if you have any questions regarding the contents of the course. \nPlease see the website for more information and registration:  DGPE PhD course: Introduction to Stochastic Programming (au.dk)
