Scaling Decision-Focused Learning to Large Problems with Lagrangian Decomposition

Researchers propose a novel framework combining Lagrangian decomposition with decision-focused learning to improve scalability and computational efficiency in predict-then-optimize problems. The approach demonstrates competitive performance on large-scale benchmarks with up to 8x more variables than previous methods, while maintaining parallelization capabilities.

Score Function Gradient Estimation to Widen the Applicability of Decision-Focused Learning

Researchers propose a new decision-focused learning method using score function gradient estimation and stochastic smoothing to train machine learning models that directly optimize for task performance rather than prediction accuracy. The approach removes restrictive assumptions about problem structure, extending applicability to nonlinear objectives, constrained optimization, and two-stage stochastic problems.
