Presented by Prof. dr. Holger H. Hoos (Professor of Machine Learning at Leiden University)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of automated algorithm design methods, such as automated algorithm configuration and portfolio-based algorithm selection, across many areas within operations research, artificial intelligence and beyond. These methods are based on cutting-edge machine learning and optimization techniques; they have also led to substantial advances in those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this tutorial, I will give an overview of these automated algorithm design methods and introduce Programming by Optimization (PbO), a principled approach for developing high-performance software based on them. I will explain how PbO can fundamentally change the nature of developing solvers for challenging computational problems and give examples for its successful application to a range of prominent problems from OR and AI \u2013 notably, mixed integer programming, the travelling salesman problem, AI planning, automated reasoning and machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
