Presentation on Data-Driven Optimization

Part of the UCI Data Science Initiative, October 24, 2014

Key Takeaways:

  • Prediction and optimization work well together
  • We suggest predicting and optimizing in a joint manner, rather than the more typical approach of predicting first and then optimizing

Notes:

  • My part is only until 13:30…if you skip too far ahead, that isn’t really me.
  • Strangely, the math wasn’t rendered properly when this video was multiplexed; fortunately, it was properly rendered on-screen during the live presentation.  You should still get the big picture of what I am talking about; the details can be found in the corresponding papers.
