Optimization in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences

The book "Optimization in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences" is aimed at researchers in the fields of Operations Research, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence. It brings together selected contributions from the first hybrid international conference "Optimization and Decision Science - ODS2021," which took place from September 14 to 17, 2021, in Rome. The conference was organized by AIRO, the Italian Society for Operations Research, and the Department of Statistical Sciences at Sapienza University of Rome. The publication offers new and original contributions on various methodological optimization topics, including Support Vector Machines, game theory, mathematical programming, and heuristic algorithms. The topics covered range from optimizing delivery services to risk assessments and the design of power grids. The articles in this book contribute to the discussion on sustainability, logistics, health management in pandemic scenarios, and many other relevant issues. Therefore, the book is not only directed at researchers in the Operations Research community but also at practitioners facing decision-making problems in these areas, as well as students and researchers from other disciplines such as artificial intelligence, computer science, finance, mathematics, and engineering.
