About us

The working group Data Science meets Optimisation Data Science meets Optimisation of EURO is a joint initiative of the CODeS group at KU Leuven and the ASAP group at University of Nottingham.

This group aims to promote the interaction of data science (DS) and optimisation (O), and better exploitation of the areas in which they -overlap. By ‘optimisation techniques’ we intend a broad interpretation that includes the wide range from exact methods (branch and bound mathematical programming, etc.) to heuristics and metaheuristics, and others. Of particular interest are the two natural directions: ‘Usage of DS for O’, and ‘Usage of O for DS’.
