Optimization and Machine Learning can enhance each other and demonstrate what their combined strength can achieve. A perfect example of this is linear regression. We show you how this works and what you can do with it in this episode.

Heuristics – is this just another buzzword? Why is it used so often when talking about optimization and what does it have to do with pizza? We explain what a heuristic is and how it works.

It seems virtually impossible to find a model for our decision-making which takes all details into account. In this episode we demonstrate how data abstraction can help to model a problem, thus making it the core of successful optimization.
