Building Trust in Artificial Intelligence: A Necessity for Railway Applications

The article discusses the necessity of building trust in AI for railway applications, highlighting that AI is currently limited to non‑safety critical uses due to stringent industry standards. It proposes focusing on three key areas—robustness, Operational Design Domain (ODD), and explainability—to meet compliance and safety requirements. By integrating these domains within a safe MLOps environment, the authors argue that regulatory acceptance and public confidence can be achieved, enabling broader AI adoption in mission‑critical railway systems.

Supply Chain Analytics: A Data-Driven Approach

The article "Supply Chain Analytics: A Data-Driven Approach" presents a mathematically rigorous framework that integrates statistical learning with robust decision-making for logistics and operations management. It covers topics from empirical demand forecasting to optimal inventory and network control under uncertainty, including sample minimization, dynamic programming for inventory replenishment, network fulfillment, and distributionally robust optimization using transport theory. The work also links predictive models with prescriptive algorithms such as column generation for vehicle routing and non‑homogeneous queueing regimes, offering both theoretical foundations and algorithmic guidance for building resilient, automated supply chain systems.

Understanding Operator Attitudes Toward AI-Supported Decision Making in Maritime Operations

The study surveyed maritime professionals on their attitudes toward AI‑supported decision assistants in collision‑avoidance scenarios. Results show a generally positive disposition toward maritime technology, stable trust across scenarios, and nuanced, scenario‑sensitive ratings of explanation quality. Open‑ended feedback highlighted the importance of decision‑support, situational awareness, and confidence‑building, while raising concerns about AI reliability, over‑reliance, and loss of expertise.

Deep Learning for Sequential Decision Making under Uncertainty: Foundations, Frameworks, and Frontiers

The tutorial titled "Deep Learning for Sequential Decision Making under Uncertainty: Foundations, Frameworks, and Frontiers" explores how modern deep learning techniques—such as neural networks, transformers, large language models, and deep reinforcement learning—can be integrated with operations research and management science to address complex, uncertain, and dynamic decision problems. It argues that deep learning should complement, not replace, optimization, offering adaptability and scalable approximation while OR/MS provides rigorous constraint and uncertainty modeling. The tutorial organizes the field around predict‑then‑optimize, decision‑aware learning, constraint‑aware decision generation, and deep reinforcement learning, and highlights applications across supply chains, healthcare, energy, and autonomous systems.
