A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

An optimization problem is one where you have to make the best decision (choose the best investments, minimize your company’s costs, find the class schedule with the fewest morning classes, or so on).

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study. A ...

There are, generally speaking, two types of people in the mathematical optimization software field: • Optimization solver developers: The technical experts who devise and implement the algorithms that ...

Research teams from energy giant ExxonMobil and IBM have been working together to find quantum solutions to one of the most complex problems of our time: managing the tens of thousands of merchant ...

Ed Rothberg is Chief Scientist and Chairman of the Board at Gurobi, producer of one of the world’s fastest mathematical optimization solver. Despite a growing level of interest in mathematical ...

Neel Somani points out that while artificial intelligence may look like it runs on data and algorithms, its real engine is optimization. According to Somani, every breakthrough in the field—from ...
