— We treat a discrete uncapacitated facility location problem where the installation cost per facility is a gênerai nonlinear function of the number of established facilities. Assuming a convexity proper ty, Mirchandani and Jagannathan developed a heur is tic solution procedure for this problem. Hère, we show how to modify their algorithm in order to get and prove exact solutions and, at the sa...

GANs provide a framework for training generative models which mimic a data distribution. However, in many cases we wish to train these generative models to optimize some auxiliary objective function within the data it generates, such as making more aesthetically pleasing images. In some cases, these objective functions are difficult to evaluate, e.g. they may require human interaction. Here, we...
