Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium: Hidden Figures: Bringing Math, Physics, History, and Race to Hollywood (January 15, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47715 47715-11002093@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 15, 2018 4:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

Abstract:
In January 2017, the movie Hidden Figures was released by 20th Century Fox studios. This movie tells the story of three African-American women mathematicians and engineers (Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan) who would play a pivotal role towards the successful mission of John Glenn’s spacecraft orbit around the Earth and the NASA missions to the moon.

For this talk, we give a brief review of the space race going on at the time between the United States of America and the former Soviet Union. We will discuss the lives and contributions that NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and the NASA engineers Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan made to the space race. In particular, their work as concerns John Glenn’s orbit around the Earth in 1962 and to the moon missions. Also, we will talk about the experiences of being a mathematical consultant for this film. (This talk was designed and originally to be presented by Professor Rudy Horne, who passed away in December 2017. Professor Washington kindly agreed to present in his stead.)

Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
Title: "Learning Analytics in Graduate Medical Education: Realizing the Promise of CBME with Milestones Achievement Data"

Abstract: In 2012, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) introduced the Next Accreditation System (NAS) for improving postgraduate medical education. An important component of the NAS is a shift towards competency-based medical education (CBME), involving milestones as markers of achievement during training. Since 2015, the ACGME has been collecting milestones achievement data (competency ratings) on all resident and fellow physicians in accredited training programs in the USA (n > 110,000 residents and fellows per year). A critical assumption in CBME is that assessment data regarding any learner (in any form) contains some degree of uncertainty. At the same time, program directors must make finite/binary decisions about learners at the time of graduation, and indeed throughout training. The availability of milestones data, in the context of national trends, gives the program director an additional tool for making the best decisions regarding learner progression (and ultimately graduation). I will briefly review tools we have developed to help program directors make use of milestones data to enhance the quality of their decisions regarding resident progression and graduation. In addition, I will outline an approach to using the data for enhancing national curricula within a specialty.

Bio: Dr. Hamstra is responsible for oversight and leadership regarding research in Milestones and assessment systems that inform decisions around resident physician progression and board eligibility. Dr. Hamstra works with medical subspecialty societies, program director organizations, the American Board of Medical Specialties, and specialty certification boards. His research addresses medical education broadly, including competency assessment for residency training programs, and developing administrative support for educational scholarship within academic health settings. Prior to joining the ACGME, Dr. Hamstra was at the University of Michigan, the University of Ottawa, and the University of Toronto Department of Surgery. He has also worked closely with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada on developing policies regarding competency-based medical education for graduate medical education. Dr. Hamstra received his PhD in sensory neuroscience from York University in Toronto in 1994.

Abstract: Many applications, including machine learning, require optimization of convex cost functions. For convex cost functions with Lipschitz continuous gradients, Nesterov's fast gradient method decreases the cost function at least as fast as the square of the number of iterations, a rate order that is optimal. This talk describes a first-order optimization method called the optimized gradient method (OGM) that converges twice as fast as Nesterov's famous method yet has a remarkably similar simple implementation. Interestingly, Y. Drori recently showed that OGM has optimal complexity among first-order methods. I will discuss other recent extensions and show examples in machine learning and imaging. This work is joint with Donghwan Kim.

Abstract:
Many real-world analytics problems involve two significant challenges: prediction and optimization. Due to the typically complex nature of each challenge, the standard paradigm is to predict, then optimize. By and large, machine learning tools are intended to minimize prediction error and do not account for how the predictions will be used in a downstream optimization problem. In contrast, we propose a new and very general framework, called Smart “Predict, then Optimize” (SPO), which directly leverages the optimization problem structure, i.e., its objective and constraints, for designing successful predictive models. A key component of our framework is the SPO loss function, which measures the quality of a prediction by comparing the objective values of the solutions generated using the predicted and observed parameters, respectively. Training a model with respect to the SPO loss is computationally challenging, and therefore we also develop a surrogate loss function, called the SPO+ loss, which upper bounds the SPO loss, has desirable convexity properties, and is statistically consistent under mild conditions. We also propose a stochastic gradient descent algorithm which allows for situations in which the number of training samples is large, model regularization is desired, and/or the optimization problem of interest is nonlinear or integer. Finally, we perform computational experiments to empirically verify the success of our SPO framework in comparison to the standard predict-then-optimize approach. This is joint work with Adam Elmachtoub.

This talk is based on the following paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.08005

IOE 899 Seminar: Daniel Steffy, Oakland University (April 4, 2018 4:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51594 51594-12170477@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 4, 2018 4:10pm
Location: Industrial and Operations Engineering Building
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

Abstract: Mixed-integer linear programming is an optimization paradigm with a wide range of applications. Most software to solve these problems is based on inexact floating-point computation, which sometimes leads to erroneous results. Although it is possible to compute exact solutions by using exact precision arithmetic in all steps of the algorithms, this slows computation time considerably. Modern techniques for computing exact solutions employ a combination of numerical methods, interval arithmetic, and exact computation in novel ways to increase speed while still guaranteeing correct results. This talk will survey some of these methods and further describe how their computed results can be independently validated. In particular, how solvers can be adapted to output a proof of their conclusions using a limited number of simple inference rules which can be verified by a separate program that is much simpler than the optimization solver. This talk is based on joint work with Kevin K.H. Cheung and Ambros Gleixner.

Bio: Dan Steffy is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Oakland University. He earned his PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization from Georgia Tech in 2010, and has spent time as a research staff member at the Zuse Institute Berlin. His research interests include integer programming, computational optimization, graph theory and applications.

"Data-Driven Integer and Robust Optimization for Scarce Resource Allocation"

Abstract: In the first part of the talk, we present a data-driven optimization approach to estimate wait times for individual patients in the U.S. Kidney Allocation System, based on the very limited system information that they possess in practice. To deal with this information incompleteness, we develop a novel robust optimization analytical framework for wait time estimation in multiclass, multiserver queuing systems. We calibrate our model with highly detailed historical data and illustrate how it can be used to inform medical decision making and improve patient welfare. In the second part of the talk, we present a data-driven optimization approach for designing fair, efficient, and interpretable policies for prioritizing heterogeneous homeless youth on a waiting list for scarce housing resources. Our framework provides the policy-maker the flexibility to select both their desired structure for the policy and their desired fairness requirements. We evaluate our framework using real-world data from the United States homeless youth housing system. We show that our framework results in policies that are more fair than the current policy in place and than classical interpretable machine learning approaches while achieving a similar (or higher) level of overall efficiency. The first part of the talk is joint work with Chaitanya Bandi and Nikolaos Trichakis and is forthcoming in Management Science. The second part of the talk is joint work with Mohammad Javad Azizi, Bryan Wilder, Eric Rice, and Milind Tambe and is forthcoming in the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on the Integration of Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Operations Research (CPAIOR), 2018.

Bio: Phebe Vayanos is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Southern California. She is also an Associate Director of the CAIS Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society at USC. Her research aims to address fundamental questions arising in data-driven integer and robust optimization, and game theory. Her work is motivated by decision-making and resource allocation problems that are important for social good, such as those arising in public health, public safety and security, biodiversity preservation, education, and energy. Prior to joining USC, she was lecturer in the Operations Research and Statistics Group at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and a postdoctoral research associate in the Operations Research Center at MIT. She holds a PhD degree in Operations Research and an MEng degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, both from Imperial College London.

Abstract: We discuss Bayesian optimization, a class of methods for optimizing expensive or slow-to-evaluate objective functions. We describe optimization as a decision-making task ("where should I sample next?"), and show how guidance from decision theory can reduce the number of function evaluations required to find approximate optima. We discuss these methods in the context of applications from the tech sector: optimizing e-commerce systems, real-time economic markets, mobile apps, and hyperparameters in machine learning algorithms. Motivated by these applications, we present a new Bayesian optimization method designed for parallel noisy function evaluations, the parallel knowledge gradient method. This method makes use of infinitessimal perturbation analysis within a stochastic approximation framework to find a one-step average-case optimal set of points at which to evaluate the objective function. We conclude with examples of how this and other closely-related methods are used in practice, based on the speaker's experiences working with Yelp, Uber, and the Bayesian Optimization startup company, SigOpt.

Abstract: Ride-sourcing companies such as Uber, Lyft and Didi Chuxing are transforming the way people travel in cities. These companies provide ride-hailing applications that intelligently match riders to drivers; drivers are private car owners who drive their own vehicles to provide ride-for-hire services for profit. Since their advent in 2009, ride-sourcing companies have enjoyed huge success, but also created many controversies. One of them centered on surge pricing, which algorithmically varies price across different geographic areas and periods. In this talk, we present an equilibrium modeling framework for analyzing ride-sourcing systems to estimate the impacts of surge pricing on the overall system performance. We will discuss critical ingredients of the modeling framework, including capturing drivers’ labor supply decision, and approximating the market frictions due to the matching technology adopted by a ride-sourcing platform to match riders and drivers. We will then configure the framework to develop various models to investigate the pricing of the ride-sourcing markets and its welfare impacts. Potential regulatory policies are subsequently discussed.

Title: The Meaning is the Variance: Population Heterogeneity Should be the Focus of Ergonomics and Biomechanics Research

Bio: Matthew P. Reed, PhD., is the Don B. Chaffin Collegiate Research Professor and head of the Biosciences Group of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. He also has appointments in Integrative Systems and Design, where he is Chair of the interdisciplinary Design Science program, and Industrial and Operations Engineering, where he leads the Human Motion Simulation Laboratory in the Center for Ergonomics. Dr. Reed’s research focuses on vehicle safety, engineering anthropometry, and ergonomics. He is an author of more than 250 publications relating to humans in engineered systems. Dr. Reed is a Fellow in SAE International and a member of the SAE Human Accommodation and Design Devices Committee, Driver Vision Standards Committee, and Truck and Bus Human Factors Committee. He has received outstanding paper awards from SAE, including the Arch T. Colwell Merit Award, the Myers Award, and the Isbrandt Award for crash safety research. He currently serves as vice-president of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury.

Abstract: The “50th-percentile” male is never the limiting case, and the “5th-percentile female” and “95th-percentile male” don’t exist. Why do people keep talking about them? I will discuss why mean and univariate effects in ergonomics and biomechanics often leave out most of the interesting phenomena and why we should focus our efforts in education and research on rigorous, multivariate consideration of population heterogeneity with examples from industrial ergonomics, product design, and crash safety.

Using Systems Engineering to Inform Public Health Policies: A Simulation Model to Assess the Impact of Insurance Expansion on Colorectal Cancer Screening

Recent health care reform debates have triggered substantial discussion on how best to improve access to insurance. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an example of a largely preventable condition, if access to and use of healthcare is increased. Early and ongoing screening and intervention can identify and remove polyps before they become cancerous. We present the development of an individual-based discrete-event simulation model to estimate the impact of insurance expansion scenarios on CRC screening, incidence, mortality, and costs. A national repeated cross-sectional survey was used to estimate which individuals obtained insurance in North Carolina (NC) after the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The potential impact of expanding the state’s Medicaid program is tested and compared to no insurance reform and the ACA without Medicaid expansion. The model integrates a census-based synthetic population, national data, claims based statistical models, and a natural history module in which simulated polyps and cancer progress.

A brief overview of other precision medicine related research projects in Health Systems Engineering at NC State are also presented.

Title: Data-driven Optimization Models for Concussion Management Decisions

Abstract: Concussion, the most common type of traumatic brain injury, is an emerging public health issue. It is characterized by an alteration of neurologic function and wide-ranging symptoms including memory loss and confusion. Furthermore, recent research has begun to shed light on the relationship between concussion and long-term health consequences including cognitive impairment, neurodegenerative disease, increased risk for depression, and early onset dementia. Concussion management plays a critical role in long and short-term health outcomes for those with concussion. A major challenge in concussion management is using large observational data sets to design guidelines for concussion diagnosis decisions. We address this challenge by formulating a data- driven framework which combines predictive modeling and stochastic programming to guide diagnosis decisions. We show that for concussion, our framework can accurately identify those with and without concussion while limiting misdiagnoses. Furthermore, our framework facilitates the identification of key characteristics shared by patients who are the most difficult to diagnose accurately. Finally, we discuss ongoing extensions to this work. The models developed in this research provide valuable insights to clinicians and can be extended to application in other disease areas.

There is wide variation in the quality of total hip and knee arthroplasty (“replacement”) implants. A major quality indicator of an implant is the percentage of patients needing a revision surgery to replace implant components. National registries in Australia, Sweden, Norway, New Zealand report revision risk for individual implant models. Surgeons have used these data to choose better implants, resulting in improved quality. National registries also forced DePuy to recall its ASR hip resurfacing device by publicly reporting the poor outcomes for that implant. The only registry in the United States publicly reporting implant performance is the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI). MARCQI is a state-wide collaborative of hospitals and surgeons dedicated to improving the quality of care for hip and knee replacement patients. It collects and analyzes data from over 95% of all elective total hip and knee replacement patients performed in the state of Michigan. It uses these data to compute revision risk data for implants and publicly reports the results in an annual report. This talk will explain MARCQI and its first annual report that was released in 2017. The report is a “consumer reports” of hip and knee replacement implants. Possibilities for using Bayesian network and linear programming models to improve causal inference will be presented.

Richard Hughes received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan in 1991. In 1998 he returned to the University of Michigan as faculty in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. In the interim, he completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic and worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. His work today focuses on quality improvement in hip and knee arthroplasty. Along with Dr. Brian Hallstrom, M.D., Dr. Hughes is Co-Director of the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI). MARCQI is a network of 67 hospitals across Michigan that work together to improve quality of care for hip and knee arthroplasty patients by sharing best practices. He also developed and teaches IOE 413 Optimization Modeling in Health Care.

The seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary, systems-engineering approach.

Title: "Bayesian Methods for Achieving a Sustainable Resilience of Infrastructure and Communities"

Abstract
The protection of critical infrastructure has recently garnered attention with an emphasis on analyzing the risk, improving the resilience, and planning for the sustainability of such networks. Critical infrastructure systems are essential to our economy and society, however, they frequently face disruptions leading to cascading failures across other systems. One challenge is the ability to make accurate predictions of post-disruption systems behavior that capture time and uncertainty dynamics. This talk will cover Bayesian methods developed to address challenges in risk-based predictive analytics. The methods integrate hierarchical Bayesian models with kernel functions to account for uncertainty, prior knowledge, and systems information. In addition, Bayesian updating of infrastructure network response under multiple hazard scenarios is discussed. Case studies to illustrate these methods include resilience modeling of power and water systems.

Bio: Bernard J. Martin received an Engineering degree in applied physics from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Marseille, France; Ph.D. (biomedical engineering) and Dr.Sci. (Neuroscience) degrees from the Université de Provence, Marseille, France, in 1980 and 1989, respectively. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering and Adjunct Research Scientist in the School of Kinesiology, University of Michigan. His research interests are in human motor control, sensorimotor systems, muscle fatigue, biomechanics, motion simulation, human vibration, and stroke rehabilitation.

Abstract: Work-related neck and shoulder pains are highly prevalent in jobs with low physical exposure. Myalgia of the trapezius muscle is one of the most prevalent work-related neck-shoulder disorders and muscle fatigue is widely considered a precursor of such disorders. There is evidence that long-lasting low-level activity of the trapezius muscle appears as a crucial link in the pathway from workplace physiological and psychological demands to the development of work related neck pain. A possible approach to reduce the risks associated with muscle fatigue is to disrupt the monotonous muscle activity by adding frequent, active breaks during the working task. In the first phase of our investigation the long lasting component of trapezius muscle fatigue resulting from low-level, sustained working task and spatio-temporal distribution of EMG activity are investigated in two conditions including passive break or active disruption of muscle contraction. Muscle fatigue develops and persists after the end of the workday. It appears that the alteration of force control may be associated with the corresponding fatigue. However, these phenomena seem to be counteracted by disruption of muscle contraction monotony by active interventions during the workday. Indeed, the presence of active disruptions also induces changes in the timing and degree of EMG activity as well as features of trapezius active areas. The extent of these adaptations appears to be subject and work task dependent but seem to be beneficial for the reduction of muscle fatigue.

Title: Monotonicity of optimal contracts without the first-order approach

Abstract: We develop a simple sufficient condition for an optimal contract of a moral hazard problem to be monotone in the output signal. Existing results on monotonicity require conditions on the output distribution (namely, the monotone likelihood ratio property (MLRP)) and additional conditions to guarantee that agent’s decision is approachable via the first-order approach of replacing that problem with its first-order conditions. We know of no positive monotonicity results in the setting where the first-order approach does not apply. Indeed, it is well documented that when there are finitely many possible outputs, and the first-order approach does not apply, the MLRP alone is insufficient to guarantee monotonicity. However, we show that when there is an interval of possible output signals, the MLRP does suffice to establish monotonicity under additional technical assumptions that do not guarantee the validity of the first-order approach. To establish this result we examine necessary optimality conditions for moral hazard problems using a novel penalty function approach. We then manipulate these conditions and provide sufficient conditions for when they coincide with a simple version of the moral hazard problem with only two constraints. In this two-constraint problem, monotonicity is established directly via a strong characterization of its optimal solutions.

Many patients, including United States veterans, face barriers to appropriate, affordable healthcare. These barriers can be addressed by optimizing clinic locations while delivering care that effectively utilizes providers’ practice responsibilities. We present models to evaluate veterans’ eye care facility location options with consideration for overall system access and present a case study in which trained technicians perform visual disease screenings typically conducted by ophthalmologists, as part of the VA's Technology-based Eye Care Services (TECS) program. In this seminar Dr. April Maa will review eye care in the VA, including the initiation of the TECS program. Adam VanDeusen will present how this program's utilization can be evaluated using facility location models.

April Maa, MD is an Associate Professor at Emory University School of Medicine in the Department of Ophthalmology, division of comprehensive ophthalmology. She completed her Bachelor of Science in Physiology at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Upon graduation from McGill in 2000, she then attended medical school at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas from 2000-2004. Subsequently, she completed her ophthalmology residency at University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas before moving to Atlanta in 2008. She joined Emory and the Atlanta VA in 2008, where she has remained as an active practicing clinician and clinical researcher. She currently is the Clinical Director of Technology-based Eye Care Services (TECS), a tele-ophthalmology program, for the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 7 Regional Telehealth Service that is based at the Atlanta VA Healthcare System. Dr. Maa began her career in telemedicine around the year 2012 when she first began doing research at the VA on Veterans’ eye disease prevalence and piloting studies to use telemedicine to improve eye care delivery. In 2015, she was awarded a pilot grant from VA Office of Rural Health to pilot 3 tele-eye sites. TECS was an enormous success, and has rapidly grown across the country to several states including Missouri, Omaha, Montana, and Illinois. Atlanta currently serves as the national VA ORH National Program Office for TECS spread across the VA enterprise, receiving approximately $2 million a year to continue to spread tele-ophthalmology across the country. Dr. Maa has received several accolades for her work in telemedicine at the VA including a ‘Honorable Mention’ for TECS by then Undersecretary of Health David Shulkin’s book “The Best Care Everywhere”; VISN 7 Big Idea Group Competition First Place Winner, the Mark Wolcott Award for Excellence in Clinical Care Leadership, and the 2018 Employee of the Year for the Atlanta VA in Scientific Achievement.

Adam VanDeusen is a PhD student in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan working with Dr. Amy Cohn. His research applies operations research methods to public health policy, primarily access to care.

Title: Modeling power of mixed integer convex optimization problems and their effective solution with Julia and JuMP

Abstract:
More than 50 years of development have made mixed integer linear programming (MILP) an extremely successful tool. MILP's modeling flexibility allows it describe a wide range of business, engineering and scientific problems, and, while MILP is NP-hard, many of these problems are routinely solved in practice thanks to state-of-the- art solvers that nearly double their machine-independent speeds every year. Inspired by this success, the last decade has seen a surge of activity on the solution and application of mixed integer convex programming (MICP), which extends MILP's versatility by allowing the use of convex constraints in addition to linear inequalities. In this talk we cover various recent developments concerning theory, algorithms and computation for MICP. Solvers for MICP can be significantly more effective than those for more general non-convex optimization, so one of the questions we cover in this talk is what classes of non-convex constraints can be modeled through MICP. We also cover the solution of MICP problems through polyhedral approximation algorithms that exploit the power of extended formulations. Finally, we cover various topics concerning the modeling and computational solution of MICP problems using the Julia programming language and the JuMP modeling language for optimization. In Particular, we show how mixed integer optimal control problems where the variables are polynomials can be easily modeled and solved by seamlessly combining several Julia packages and JuMP extensions with the Julia-written MICP solver Pajarito.

Title: "Differential Privacy for Growing Databases"

Abstract:
We study the design of differentially private algorithms for adaptive analysis of dynamically growing databases, where a database accumulates new data entries while the analysis is ongoing. We provide a collection of tools for machine learning and other types of data analysis that guarantee differential privacy and accuracy as the underlying databases grow arbitrarily large. We give both a general technique and a specific algorithm for adaptive analysis of dynamically growing databases. Our general technique is illustrated by two algorithms that schedule black box access to some algorithm that operates on a fixed database to generically transform private and accurate algorithms for static databases into private and accurate algorithms for dynamically growing databases. These results show that almost any private and accurate algorithm can be rerun at appropriate points of data growth with minimal loss of accuracy, even when data growth is unbounded. Our specific algorithm directly adapts the private multiplicative weights algorithm to the dynamic setting, maintaining the accuracy guarantee of the static setting through unbounded data growth. Along the way, we develop extensions of several other differentially private algorithms to the dynamic setting, which may be of independent interest for future work on the design of differentially private algorithms for growing databases. (Joint work with Sara Krehbiel, Kevin Lai, and Uthaipon Tantipongpipat.)

He has received two national awards for patient safety design (ISMP’s “Cheers Award” and AAMI’s “Career Achievement Award”. Among dozens of other publications, he edited and co-wrote the book, Using Human Factors Engineering to Improve Patient Safety. Previously, Dr Gosbee worked at Department of Veterans Affairs - National Center for Patient Safety, Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, and NASA on development of space-based medical facilities.

Abstract: Dr. Gosbee will present the theory and method behind teaching human factors engineering to learners at University of Michigan (and other venues). FDA and the marketplace expect that medical device design process will include human factors engineering (HFE). He will share lessons learned when teaching BME students about HFE, including usability testing and IEC standards during their capstone design project.

ACGME (residency program oversight group) now requires all residency programs will teach analysis of actual safety events to all residents. Many of these safety events involve devices and software - which require application of HFE concepts, standards, or methods. He will share lessons of teaching residents about using usability testing to analyze the safety issue (e.g., ultrasound machine design) and evaluate proposed redesigns (e.g., ECG machine interface).

Title: Trust in and reliance on imperfect automation

Abstract:
The use of automation to assist human performance is growing rapidly. Ideally, with the assistance of automation, task performance of a human should increase. Unfortunately, performance gains are not always achieved, one of the reasons being the human’s inappropriate trust in and dependence on automated technologies. In this seminar, I will present several studies conducted in the Interaction and Collaboration Research Lab to examine human operators' trust in and dependence on automation.

We study the nurse staffing problem under random nurse demand and absenteeism. While the nurse demand uncertainty is exogenous (stemming from the random patient census), the nurse absenteeism uncertainty is endogenous, i.e., the number of nurses present partially depends on the nurse staffing level. For the quality of care, many hospitals have developed float pools of nurses by cross-training, so that a pool nurse can be assigned to the units short of nurses. In this talk, we propose a distributionally robust nurse staffing (DRNS) model that considers both exogenous and endogenous uncertainties. We derive a decomposition algorithm to solve this model. In addition, we identify several float pool structures that often arise in practice and allow us to reformulate the DRNS model as a monolithic mixed-integer linear program, which facilitates off-the-shelf commercial solvers. Furthermore, we optimize the float pool design to reduce the cross-training while achieving a specified target staffing costs. The numerical case studies, based on the data of a collaborating hospital, lead to recommendations for the float pool design from an operational perspective.

Ruiwei Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Operations Engineering in the University of Michigan. He conducts research on the theory of stochastic and robust optimization, integer programming, and their applications on power systems and healthcare operations. Ruiwei’s research has been recognized with the INFORMS George Nicholson student paper award, the Stochastic Programming Society student paper award, the INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group paper award (honorable mention).

Location: Lurie Biomedical Engineering
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

Dr. Newman-Casey is a clinical ophthalmologist who specializes in the medical and surgical management of glaucoma. She is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. She completed medical school (2007), residency (2011) and fellowship (2013) at the University of Michigan. She holds a master’s degree in Health Services Research (University of Michigan, 2012). Her current research on developing and testing technology based behavioral interventions to improve glaucoma self-management support. She is also interested in how operations engineering techniques can be used to improve patient’s experience in clinic and identify ways to integrate more education into patients’ clinical encounters. Her research is funded by a K23 Career Development Award from the National Eye Institute and a Research to Prevent Blindness Career Development Award.
During the talk, “The Intelligent Glaucoma Clinic: A Passive RFID Time Study System to Optimize Patient Wait Times,” Dr. Newman-Casey will describe design choices that enabled the development of a low-cost, continuous automated, passive time-motion study in the glaucoma clinic.
ABSTRACT: Objective: Outpatient clinics lack infrastructure to easily track and improve patient wait times. Our objective was to design a low-cost, portable passive RFID system for real time localization within an outpatient clinic setting to measure patients wait times.
Materials and Methods: Direct observation was used to determine workflow in an outpatient glaucoma clinic at the University of Michigan. We used off-the shelf integrated ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID readers (ThingMagic, Astra-Ex, Woburn, MA), UHF re-useable passive RFID tags (Zebra Impinj Monza 4QT, Seattle, WA) and a custom java RFID management application that was equipped with ‘live’ device administration to collect time and location data from patients and providers; these choices enabled low cost system installation. Hidden Markov modeling was used to smooth patient and provider location data. The model was validated with: 1) direct patient observations 2) direct provider observations and 3) comparison of provider location by electronic health record audit log trail.
Results: The smoothed RFID system data accurately predicted patient and provider presence >80% of the time.
Discussion: Passive RFID time study systems can enable real time localization of people in clinic, facilitating continuous capture of patient wait times. The system must be customized to the clinic to improve accuracy.
Conclusions: Capturing wait time data continuously and passively can facilitate continuous clinical quality improvement initiatives to enhance the patient experience.

Abstract: Lifeline infrastructure systems have always been crucial to the social, economic, and military security of societies. Because lifeline systems are critical to societal coherence and economic operations, assessing and mitigating risks to lifeline system operations is crucial. However, attention has shifted from risk assessment to resilience assessment due to the exceptionally large adaptation and mitigation needs implied by the geographic and temporal scope of natural and man-made hazards. In resilience assessment, most research efforts have focused on defining and measuring resilience quantitatively. However, could it be possible that infrastructure resilience is driven by the properties of the networks of human relationships, operating protocols, evolving objectives and information sharing processes within infrastructure systems? In response to this question, the goal of this talk is to introduce the concept of protocol-driven resilience. Protocol-driven resilience refers to the way in which these networks interact to support system- level macro-cognitive functions and produce resilient system behavior. In this talk, I describe preliminary results from ongoing research we are conducting in order to investigate how the concept of protocol-driven resilience enhances our understanding of lifeline infrastructure system resilience.

Abstract:
Optimization of sequential decision-making under uncertainty is important in many contexts, including chronic diseases, but ambiguity in the underlying models introduces significant challenges. In the context of chronic disease management, Markov decision processes (MDPs) have been used to optimize the delivery of medical interventions in a way that balances the immediate harms and costs with the uncertain future health benefits associated with these interventions. Unfortunately, treatment recommendations that result from MDPs can depend heavily on the model of the chronic disease, and there are often multiple plausible models due to conflicting data sources or differing opinions among medical experts. To address this problem, we introduce a new framework in which a decision-maker can consider multiple models of the MDP’s ambiguous parameters and seeks to find a strategy that maximizes the weighted performance with respect to each of these models of the MDP. We establish connections to other models in the stochastic optimization literature, derive complexity results, and establish solution methods for solving these problems. We illustrate our approach in the context of preventative treatment for cardiovascular disease, and end with a discussion of opportunities for future work by extending to other preferences towards ambiguity and other chronic diseases.

Title: Exploiting Decomposable Structure to Design Better Algorithms for Solving Integer Programs

Abstract
Optimization problems in which some or all of the variables are constrained to take integer values are of broad applicability in a wide range of fields, from medicine and healthcare to banking and finance to environmental management and conservation. Over recent decades, exact algorithms for their solution have become faster and more efficient, culminating in a variety of commercial software platforms and public domain codes that provide exceptional capability for solving practical problems to optimality. However, this seems to have only increased the appetite of practitioners to solve ever-larger problems, which challenge the state-of-the-art. In this talk, we bring together two apparently disparate observations: (i) many practical problems have decomposable structure and (ii) despite the enormous strides in solution algorithms, one key element common to all of them, namely, the branching rule, has remained largely untouched since it was first presented in the 1960's. Yet the branching rule defines how the search space is divided in the "divide-and-conquer" paradigm that forms the basis of all exact algorithms; it is central to the algorithm. Here, we will describe a new idea for exploiting decomposable structure in problems to derive alternative, powerful, new branching rules. These rules are demonstrated to speed up commercial solvers by orders of magnitude, on two classes of problems having different characteristics. The potential to generalize these ideas will also be discussed.

Sinking Cities: Documenting the realities of climate change in cities around the world (December 9, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/57458 57458-14193570@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, December 9, 2018 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

IOE 813 Seminar: Mehmet A. Begen (December 10, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58168 58168-14435438@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 10, 2018 4:30pm

Home health care (HHC) has become popular and attracted substantial attention from researchers and practitioners due to its major advantages over traditional ways of treatment. One of the primary advantages of HHC is the quality of care. In HHC, a patient receives one-on-one attention, whereas in a typical health unit, a single staff is usually responsible for caring multiple patients. Another advantage of HHC is the cost. For example, cost to care terminally ill patients in an acute-care hospital is estimated to be 40% more expensive than cost of the same care in a hospital-based palliative-care unit and over 10 times more expensive than HHC. In 2012, over 2.2 million Canadians received some levels of HHC services. HHC has become a pressing issue for healthcare policy makers both in Canada and around the world, especially with an aging population. Providing a HHC service comes with many challenges. For example, caregivers travel times are significant as reports show that caregivers in the US have travelled twice the distance of UPS delivery drivers in 2010. One of the biggest challenges in HHC is to match caregivers and patients and come up with a good scheduled that is feasible, cost efficient and acceptable for medial and patient needs. One way to overcome these challenges is to use mathematical modelling and generate least costly schedules that will determine caregiver to patient assignments and routing of caregivers by considering constraints of the system. In this talk, we will describe the challenges and present of some of our projects in HHC scheduling.

This talk is based on joint works with Bahman Naderi, Gregory S. Zaric and Vahid Roshanaei.
