Optimization : Doing more with less
Abstract
AI and data science are all around but in many use cases they’re not enough since they provide insight and forecast but not the "what should we do next?".
That is the purpose of decision optimization aka prescriptive analytics or operations research. We'll start from zero with tiny examples and then give real use cases where decision optimization alone or with machine learning achieved great return on investment. The opportunity cost is what all businesses lose not using optimization and we'll see, that's huge
