Composite AI Using Machine Learning in Optimization Formulations

On-Demand • Cost: Complimentary

About the webinar

Predictive modeling using machine learning or deep learning can help establish the relationship between predictor and response variables in a system.

But incorporating machine learning models within optimization formulations isn’t an easy task.

This webinar will focus on how to prebuild ASTORE machine learning models that can be scored within the “runOptmodel” optimization action by the black-box solver to evaluate the objective function or constraints.

This webinar is for data scientists and business leaders who currently license SAS Optimization and/or SAS Visual Data Mining and are interested in learning how to incorporate ML models into optimization formulations to solve complex business problems in any industry.

You will learn how to:

  • Embed machine learning models in the constraints and the objective function of an optimization model.
  • Tune the black-box solver in SAS Optimization to converge to a near-optimal solution.
  • Call CASL scripts to compute values for the constraints and the objective function.
  • Understand the benefits of using machine learning versus linear models.
