📈 Cutting-edge optimization: events, tools, and papers you shouldn't miss
Search space: your dose of OR discoveries
Hey, Borja here! 👋
As you know, I'm trying something new.
Instead of letting all the interesting research and tools I discover each week disappear into my bookmark graveyard, I'm sharing the ones that made me pause and think this is clever or I need to remember this.
Consider it your dose of OR discoveries without the time investment of finding them yourself. Read here the first edition if you didn’t.
Let me know if this hits the mark: your feedback will determine if this becomes a regular thing.
🚀 The XI Iberian Modeling Week will start in one month. It’s a joined initiative between Portugal and Spain designed to introduce undergraduate and master’s students to industrial mathematics through hands-on problem-solving. Each year, students from both countries work in teams on real-world challenges proposed by companies, under the supervision of academic and industry mentors; via Emilio Carrizosa.
🏭 Building a combinatorial optimization supply chain model that changes everything at Danone, enabling rapid scenario analysis across every plant-product-customer combination, by Kyle Cannington.
🏫 DualSchool (paper), or how LLMs may change the class in introduction to optimization courses, either if you’re a teacher or student, by Pascal Van Hentenryck.
🤖 Inventory Optimization AI, a Reinforcement Learning-based simulation environment and agent for intelligent inventory control in supply chain systems, by Adam Chen.
🧩 Formulations for optimization problems: an actively maintained, great website to learn modeling techniques, examples, and algorithms to solve hard problems, by Fabio Furini.
Found something I should see? Send it my way and I’ll credit you next week.
In the meantime…
Let’s keep optimizing,
Borja.
