HARRINGTON PARK Nj. & BEAVERTON, Ore. October 7 2022. During the last 20 years, Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problems have become more complex, larger, and equally complex to run. ODHeuristics (ODH) is a new algorithm created by Optimization Direct, designed to run on modern multiprocessor machines. Many cores (24+ ideal) are exploited by the ODH engine…

Article five of five In our first article we identified four scenarios where Machine Learning can cooperate with Mathematical Optimization. Here we identify further reading of two notable resources that can help us learn more about this topic. We encourage practitioners to review these two articles. Machine learning for combinatorial optimization: A methodological tour d’horizon…

Article four of five In our first article we identified four scenarios where Machine Learning can cooperate with Mathematical Optimization. In this article, we will consider Scenario D which is defined as follows: ML can be used to help MOPT solvers to perform better not only for finding solutions faster but for finding more good…

Article three of five In our first article we identified four scenarios where Machine Learning can cooperate with Mathematical Optimization. In this article, we will consider Scenario A and present an example. Scenario A is defined as: ‘The output of ML is input to MOPT.’ This scenario is defined as: Machine learning algorithms calculate the…
