The Machine Learning and Optimization (MLO) group does research in the intersection of optimization, ML and systems. We are interested in fundamental and practical aspects of data-driven optimization<\/a>. Our current project is OptiGuide<\/a> – GenAI for optimization and decision intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
