Algorithmic Timetabling in Practice: Lessons from Building a Timetabling System at SBB
Speakers: Dr. Gabrio Caimi and M.Sc. Florian Flükiger, Swiss Federal Railways About the event: Algorithmic timetabling has been an active area of research for decades, yet deploying optimization-based timetabling tools in real-world railway operations reveals a striking gap between academic assumptions and operational reality. In this talk, we present insights from the development and application of an algorithmic timetabling […]

A practical approach to replenishment optimization with extended (R, s, Q) policy and probabilistic models
Speakers: Alva Presbitero (Senior Applied Scientist, Zalando) and Shikhar Dev (Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Zalando) In the high-stakes world of e-commerce, inventory management is a constant "Inventory Paradox": carry too much stock and capital is trapped in liquidation; carry too little and you face the "silent killer" of retail—stock-outs. This webinar demonstrates how the ZEOS […]

Trust but verify – testing optimization models in real life
Speaker: Richard Oberdieck, Banking Circle "Unless you magically find yourself endowed with limitless programming support, sooner or later (most likely sooner) you are likely to need to do some coding." (Paul Rubin) Between a beautiful model on paper and real world impact lies the big gap of implementation. To bridge this gap confidently, automated tests are […]
