Finally, to make RL algorithms more accessible for inventory management researchers, we also discuss a modular Python library developed that can be used to test the performance of RL algorithms with various supply chain structures.

Several recent publications report advances in training optimal decision trees (ODT) using mixed-integer programs (MIP), due to algorithmic advances in integer programming and a growing interest in addressing the inherent suboptimality of heuristic approaches such as CART.

Unlike the classical variational inference, where a factorized distribution is used to approximate the posterior, we employ a feedforward neural network supplemented by an encoder recurrent neural network to develop a more flexible probabilistic model.

The total complexity (measured as the total number of gradient computations) of a stochastic first-order optimization algorithm that finds a first-order stationary point of a finite-sum smooth nonconvex objective function $F(w)=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n f_i(w)$ has been proven to be at least $\Omega(\sqrt{n}/\epsilon)$ for $n \leq \mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-2})$ where $\epsilon$ denotes the attained accuracy $\mathbb{E}[ \|\nabla F(\tilde{w})\|^2] \leq \epsilon$ for the outputted approximation $\tilde{w}$ (Fang et al., 2018).

This paper has some inconsistent results, i. e., we made some failed claims because we did some mistakes for using the test criterion for a series.

In this paper, we consider a general stochastic optimization problem which is often at the core of supervised learning, such as deep learning and linear classification.
