Python III: Optimization and Heuristics
Python III Webinar
The Gurobi Python interface combines the ease and expressiveness of a modeling language with the power and flexibility of a programming language. This part three of a three-part series builds on the ideas presented in our Python I and Python II webinars.
In This Webinar, You Will:
- To use the Gurobi MIP solver as a heuristic for quickly obtaining good quality feasible solutions
- About MIP’s ability to not only find initial feasible solutions, but also to improve on these solutions, often turning poor quality solutions into excellent solutions very quickly
- About using MIP as a framework for structuring a heuristic search of a large space of possible solutions
- Advanced techniques such as MIP starts, variable hints, and heuristic callbacks. These techniques will be illustrated with Python examples
