A Marriage of Machine Learning and Optimization Algorithms

How pattern detection and pattern exploitation might elevate each other to a new level

Instead of benchmark optimization- and machine learning algorithms against each other, we should consider how they can strengthen each other [Photo by Wedding Dreamz on Unsplash]

Although most of us don’t see it, optimization algorithms (OAs) are at work everywhere. They plan shelve stocking for our grocery stores, create airport schedules, and give us the shortest route to our holiday destination…
