A technical talk on the use of optimization for causal inference.
In the absence of randomized controlled and natural experiments, it is necessary to balance the distributions of (observable) covariates of the treated and control groups in order to obtain an unbiased estimate of a causal effect of interest; …
This paper presents a decomposition approach for solving a variant of the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem, in which all connection requests are covered by geodesics, i.e., shortest paths with respect to the number of hops. Our …
