Exploring the Emergence of GPUs and PDHG in Industrial Strength Optimization with NVIDIA, Gurobi and FICO

At the INFORMS Analytics+ Conference in April, I moderated a panel on GPUs, the Primal-Dual Hybrid Gradient (PDHG) and “the ongoing evolution of Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and an investigation into the potential value of each to solve larger and more complex models.” I was asked because of my research at Stanford University and […]

Tools, Training and Testing: Optimizers Discuss AI Precision Agents

Following are lightly edited questions and answers from Patricia’s presentation on Orchestrating Optimization with Precision Agents at the INFORMS Analytics+ conference and in a subsequent webinar (watch the recording here and see Patricia’s previous blog post for reference.) Question: What is the difference between an agent and a tool? Patricia: The agent is the decision […]
