Holger Teichgraeber (Data Science Manager, Archer Aviation)
A powerful union - exploring the intersection of machine learning and optimization. Many business applications consist of a mix of machine learning and optimization methods. In this talk, I will explore the four main ways in which the two interact. I will point out common pitfalls both from a machine learning and optimization perspective, highlighting why considering them jointly is important to solve problems in transportation, energy, supply chain, and beyond.
