This morning’s plenary at the @INFORMS Analytics+ Conference in Washington, D.C. It’s a great event where business meets academia. So, networking and knowledge sharing is at the core of the event. #orms #analytics #AI #LLM #data #dataanalytics

Even in the era of NVIDIA‘s Grace Blackwell distributed computing is still a big thing. Some speedups are even superlinear. Talk by Mark Ostroot (principal solutions engineer at Simplerose) at the 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA. #INFORMS2025

On my way to the 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA to present our innovative LLM research on uncovering service quality of airports using ModernBERT and LLaMa 3.3 70B. I’ll apply our new methodology to the ATL Airport. @INFORMS @INFORMS2025 #INFORMS2025 #ORMS #GenAI #LLM

Great talk by Dan Roth on the limitations of using LLMs for reasoning at the #KDD2025 Conference in Toronto. Being linguistically coherent is much easier than we thought (that’s what LLMs have taught us). Use LLMs to generate (Python) code to solve hard problems. #AI #LLMs #ORMS

Today, I’m starting off with multimodal AI at the #KDD2025 Conference in Toronto. Rethinking the process of giving lectures: an LLM actually gives a lecture based on just slides as input (see pictures below), and making tabular data accessible by LLM (TaLM) #LLM #TaLM #AI #ORMS

Building scenario planning solutions for supply chain optimization using LLMs (large language models) at the #KDD2025 Workshop AI for Supply Chain. #FlandersMake #REMASC #AI See example on the slides in the pictures.

We have liftoff at the 2025 KDD Conference in Toronto, ON. #KDD2025 I’m attending the Workshop on AI for Supply Chain relevant to our REMASC. Supply chain planning faces two sources of complexity: radical uncertainty (e.g., use scenario planning) and need for good predictions.
