These methods are based on cutting-edge machine learning and optimization techniques; they have also led to substantial advances in those areas.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8211; notably, mixed integer programming, the travelling salesman problem, AI planning, automated reasoning and machine learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"structured-content__module l-mar-vert-6 l-sm-mar-vert-4 text-body-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"structured-content__image g-img\" src=\"https:\/\/img.evbuc.com\/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F118584311%2F455430293094%2F1%2Foriginal.20201124-150241?h=2000&amp;w=720&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;q=75&amp;sharp=10&amp;s=a2b210ab8fc43cacfd01fd70a0462f23\" alt=\"\n\t\tProgramming by Optimization image\n\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"structured-content-rich-text structured-content__module l-align-left l-mar-vert-6 l-sm-mar-vert-4 text-body-medium\">\n<p>EWG POR webinars organisers:<\/p>\n<p>Sofiane Oussedik (IBM), Joaquim Gromicho (ORTEC), Patrick Schittekat (SINTEF), Gavin Bell (Optimeering), Adisa Mujezinovic<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-723","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/723"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/723\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":724,"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/723\/revisions\/724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euro-online.org\/websites\/or-in-practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
