A portfolio is a small set of solutions that approximately optimizes every objective under consideration. This approach recognizes the inherent plurality of objectives and provides a structured way to navigate competing goals. Instead of insisting on a single best solution, portfolios offer a small number of high-quality solutions that together span the space of possible preferences. This thesis discusses the theoretical foundations, algorithmic techniques, and practical applications of this framework across various problems in machine learning and combinatorial optimization.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENew Directions in Multi-Objective Optimization with Applications\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"New Directions in Multi-Objective Optimization with Applications"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2025-10-27 16:56:13","changed_gmt":"2025-10-27 16:58:18","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-11-14T08:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2025-11-14T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-11-14T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-11-14 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2025-11-14 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-11-14 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Klaus Advanced Computing Building (KACB), Room 2108","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
