However, estimation error always exists when learning from these models, which can lead to misleading decision-making. Moreover, these models are inherently mis-specified to a certain degree, which calls for robust learning and policies for these operations problems. In this talk, we will discuss robust machine learning and its applications to operations problems. In the first part of the talk, we discuss a non-parametric approach for robust learning in sequential stochastic assignment problem. The second part of the talk considers the dynamic assortment optimization problem under the multinomial logit model (MNL) with unknown utility parameters.  Based on an online eps-contamination modelling of customers’ purchase behavior, we develop a rate-optimal robust online assortment optimization policy via an active elimination strategy.
