Optimization and ML are increasingly intersecting. Occasionally overlapping, sometimes complementary and most often best used in combination. Data Scientists should be interested in Operations Research, and Operations Researcher's are increasingly using Machine Learning. This presentation will provide a structure for understanding and applying these two techniques. It describes when Optimization techniques originating from operations research are the better solution and when it is beneficial to apply ML. More importantly, we describe how complex, high-value business problems can be solved with better by combining the techniques, rather than by using only one of them.
