This paper proposes a fast algorithm for minimizing the prediction loss of the optimal solution (PLS) of Mixed-Integer Linear Programs (MILP). Existing methods can approximately solve this problem, but are computationally expensive in high-dimensional cases. The proposed algorithm attributes the PLS to suboptimality loss (SL), which is convex, and evaluates the estimated loss with a positive lower bound. This enables reducing the prediction loss of weights (PLW) and achieving the minimum value of PLS. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the algorithm successfully achieves the minimum PLS, outperforming existing methods in terms of dimensionality effect and iteration count.

This paper helps solve a tricky problem called inverse optimization. It’s like trying to find the best recipe for making a cake, but you don’t know the ingredients or cooking time – all you have is the taste of the finished cake! The researchers propose a new way to do this efficiently, especially when there are many variables involved. They show that their method works well and can even be much faster than existing methods in some cases.
