Best practices combining ML & prescriptive analytics? Networking Discuss, Friday, December 17 at 5pm Eastern

    Join us for the December Virtual Networking Happy Hour discussion with guest moderator, @Zohar Strinka.

    As INFORMS members, we sometimes find ourselves creating prescriptive algorithms using traditional optimization or rules-based decision trees. On the other hand, the greater analytics community is usually much more focused on Machine Learning (ML) and how it can solve prediction problems.

    In this networking happy hour hosted by the INFORMS Practice Section, we will be discussing best practices for using these two approaches together to create the best possible analytics solutions, as well as what kinds of problems benefit from the combined approach.

    Whether you have strong opinions or are just looking to learn, come join in the exchange with other practice-focused professionals.

    Hope to see you there!
