optimization & data science
Introduction to linear optimization
read more
— Linear programming is an extremely powerful tool in increasingly complex economic systems in which the use of resources needs to be rationalized. Recent advances in linear programming solvers allow scientists and economists to quickly implement these techniques in a large number of operational and strategic problems. The success of such approaches depends, above all, on the choices made when modeling of the problem to be treated. This course will allow you to understand the principles behind linear optimization algorithms and to adopt the most efficient modeling approach.
Combinatorial Optimization I: Integer Programming
read more
— The discrete nature of many decision problems can lead to a so-called combinatorial explosion. Whenever avoiding such phenomena (e.g. by relaxing integrity constraints) proves to be impossible, Integer Programming (IP) allows to tackle a great number of Combinatorial Optimization problems such as those found in the domain of logistics, production management or scheduling.
Combinatorial Optimization II: constraint programming & local search
read more
— Whenever Integer Programming (IP) turns out to be unfit for treating a combinatorial optimization problem, it might be necessary to use the problem’s attributes in order to overcome it. Based on this concept, constraint programming and local search provide a formal framework for solving difficult combinatorial problems.
Combinatorial Optimization III: relaxation & hybridization
read more
— Aside from the attributes, it is possible to get around a problem by using its structure. In such a case, rather than solving a large size problem subject to combinatorial explosion, it is possible to solve several small problems in a coordinated way: this is the principle of decomposition. In some cases, it may even be advantageous to combine Combinatorial Optimization techniques (IP, CP, local search) to overcome a problem particularly difficult to solve. This is the principle of hybridization.
