The Data Science Key to an Unpredictable Future: Hands-on Guide to Solving Complex Challenges with Python and Gurobi.

Abstract: 

While machine learning helps businesses with their data-driven decision-making, it cannot solve all business problems. In addition to predictive modeling, there are numerous situations in which prescriptive models are required, where the optimal decision is needed considering the business constraints. Data scientists may not learn about prescriptive analytics or encounter any problems that can be solved using optimization.

This workshop will introduce you to optimization as a powerful tool in your analytics toolbox. You'll learn what optimization is, how to think about a problem through an optimization lens, and how to formulate the problem. Having heard about supply chain in the past two years due to shipping delays and labor shortages, it's only fitting to discuss an optimization problem within this domain. You will see how to formulate that problem mathematically, how to add complexity to it step by step, and how to solve it utilizing Python and Gurobi, a leading commercial optimization solver.
