Their use in the development of generic optimization algorithms is relatively unexplored. The paper presents such an application to design a global optimization algorithm that is generic and suitable to address quadratic box constraint problems. The new method reformulates cutting plane decomposition methods substituting the solution of the master problem by a data-driven selection of cutting planes. The paper presents the theoretical background, data technologies used and computational results that compare the new against state-of-the-art methods. Computational experiments include 100 quadratic programming (QP) problems featuring a wide range of density (25-75%), size (40-100 variables), and complexity. Results are particularly encouraging and demonstrate significant reductions in the duality gap, as high as 40-60% scope on average. Largest improvements are traced in larger formulations (over 100 variables, 75% density). The research is based solely on data produced at a particular iteration. Future work is intended to extend the analysis comparing and considering data patterns across different iterations, also to apply the methodology in other classes of optimization problems. date: 2022-07 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compchemeng.2022.107820 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1956774 doi: 10.1016/j.compchemeng.2022.107820 lyricists_name: Marousi, Asimina lyricists_id: AMARO88 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Computers & Chemical Engineering volume: 163 article_number: 107820 citation: Marousi, Asimina; Kokossis, Antonis; (2022) On the acceleration of global optimization algorithms by coupling cutting plane decomposition algorithms with machine learning and advanced data analytics.
