How can learning and optimization help us make reliable decisions in a complex, uncertain world?
This workshop brings together researchers working at the intersection of machine learning, mathematical optimization and decision-making. Through invited talks and discussion, we will explore robust learning, optimization under uncertainty, and data-driven approaches to decision-making. For more information go the workshop website.
