Les mer Optimizing You

We discuss all things optimization. Through interviewing professors and practitioners in fields like Operations Research and Industrial Engineering, we show a variety of perspectives on what it is like to study optimization, what it's like to get a PhD in a field related to optimization, and why it's important to study optimization.

episode Dr. Evelyn Gong: Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Business Problems cover

Dr. Evelyn Gong: Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Business Problems

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1890697/open_sms] Evelyn Xiao-Yue Gong is an Assistant Professor of OM at Tepper. She has a PhD from the ORC at MIT, where she was advised by David Simchi-Levi and Jim Orlin. She spent summers at Google Research, Microsoft, HelloFresh, and DE Shaw. Her main research pertains to AI for supply chain and sustainability. She also works on assortment optimization and data-driven decision making. In the first half of the episode, we discuss her journey from being a PhD student to an assistant professor. In the second half of the episode, we discuss her research on reinforcement algorithms, and some recent work on using these algorithms to solve a problem for packaging at HelloFresh. Enjoy!

Dr. Woody Zhu: Generative Models for Public Policy Making

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1890697/open_sms] Woody (Shixiang) Zhu is an Assistant Professor of data analytics at Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy. He received his PhD in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech in ISyE. He develops models for spatio-temporal data and dynamic networks, and decision making under uncertainty. He was a finalist for the 2021 INFORMS Wagner prize and won second place in the 2019 INFORMS Doing Good with Good OR. First 1/2: We discuss Woody's decision to pursue a PhD in ML at Georgia Tech, and we discuss Woody's decision to become a professor at CMU. Second 1/2: We talk about two of Woody's recent papers. One work titled Counterfactual Generative Models for Time-Varying Treatments and the other titled Data-Driven Optimization for Atlanta Police Zone Design. Enjoy!

episode Dr. Jourdain Lamperski - Linear Programming and Calibrating Model Parameters using Optimization cover

Dr. Jourdain Lamperski - Linear Programming and Calibrating Model Parameters using Optimization

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1890697/open_sms] Jourdain Bernard Lamperski is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. He received a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh, and a PhD in Operations Research from the Operations Research Center at MIT where he was advised by Robert M. Freund. His research interests include optimization, machine learning, and healthcare. We discuss Jourdain's career: - Why did he choose to go to MIT ORC? - How did he choose what to work on and his advisor? - Why did he choose to become a professor in Industrial Engineering at University of Pittsburgh? And we discuss Jourdain's research: - He explains the 'oblivious' ellipsoid method that he developed and analyzed during his PhD - He explains a healthcare project about using optimization methods to calibrate model parameters for the progression of opioid use disorder in patients. Thanks for listening and thanks to Jourdain!

Dr. Bryan Wilder - ML/Optimization: Decision Making in Social Settings

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1890697/open_sms] Bryan Wilder is an Assistant Professor in the Machine Learning Department at CMU. He received a B.S. in computer science at University of Central Florida, and then started a PhD in computer science at the University of Southern California with advisor Milind Tambe, and then they transferred over to Harvard together. His research focuses on AI for equitable data-driven decision making in high-stakes social settings, and integrating methods from machine learning, optimization, and social networks. He has won loads of awards including a Schmidt AI2050 Early Career Fellowship and Siebel Scholar award. We discuss his project on HIV-prevention, some work on better integrating ML predictions with optimization models that have some uncertainty, and a brief but nice beginner's lesson in robust optimization. Check it out!

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
