Event is Over.

Are you passionate about operational efficiency, doing more with your limited resources, and solving complex business problems? So are we! And we’re growing a community of like-minded individuals who want to network and share their knowledge and resources.

This year, we are hosting our community event alongside the Operations Research Society of New Zealand (ORSNZ) annual conference:

4:00pm Generative AI at Gurobi

See the powerful potential and significant risks of using Generative AI for modeling. While Generative AI can help you get started modeling and coding quickly, it often requires careful oversight. We will walk you through a couple of examples of optimisation modeling using Generative AI, highlighting key issues that can arise. This talk will also touch on the other application areas for AI in the context of Gurobi.

4:20pm Tackling Non-Linearities with Gurobi 12.0

Gurobi can handle a number of non-linear functions in the optimisation models. Historically, Gurobi first supported convex quadratic function in the objective and constraints. With Gurobi 9.0, Gurobi introduced a global solver for non-convex quadratic models and automatic piecewise-linear approximations of common arithmetic functions. Gurobi 11.0 comes with support for global optimisation of models containing univariate non-linear functions . In this talk, we will review those various features and present our current work for tackling non-linearities better, including what is included in our most recent release.

Simon Bowly
Software Developer, Gurobi Optimization

4:40pm JuMP + Gurobi.jl

JuMP is an open-source algebraic modeling language in Julia. In this talk, we will provide a brief overview of our activities over the last year, and show how JuMP makes it easy to solve optimisation problems with Gurobi.

Dr. Oscar Dowson
Core Contributor, JuMP
