Some Thoughts on Synergies between Operations Research and Machine Learning

Build the bridge between Operations Research and Machine Learning

For decades, operations research (OR) and machine learning (ML) have advanced as two relatively independent research fields. People in data science and artificial intelligence domains are probably more familiar with ML than OR, although every ML practitioner should know at least a few optimization techniques since every machine learning problem is essentially an optimization problem. In this article, I will view OR and ML as …
