SUMMARY:Webinar: Gurobot Stories - Lessons Learned and What’s Next
DESCRIPTION:Gurobot\, the AI-powered optimization agent and chatbot\, has been available from Gurobi for almost one year\, generating interesting usage patterns. Gurobot has deftly handled a range of topics\, from support to modeling questions. Gurobi Senior Data Science Strategist Jerry Yurchisin and Princeton Consultants Optimization Principal Irv Lustig\, PhD will review this usage and discuss the advantages and concerns revealed through analyzing queries and specific examples over time\, highlighting the benefits\, potential risks\, and lessons learned from using Generative AI for modeling optimization problems. \nJerry and Irv will discuss how these lessons are informing new GenAI tools designed to provide improved support\, modeling assistance\, and model explainability. \nRegister for the webinar. \nJerry Yurchisin\, with over a decade of experience in operations research\, data science\, and visualization\, specializes in enhancing decision-making with the right analytical approach. At Gurobi\, Jerry aims to promote the integration of mathematical optimization into the data science and AI communities as a critical component of decision intelligence. Before joining Gurobi\, Jerry worked in consulting supporting numerous projects by building and customizing mathematical optimization models and leveraging machine learning\, applied statistics\, and simulation—all to support decision-making through data-driven narratives. Jerry also has taught a wide variety of college-level mathematics and statistics courses and has a passion for education. \nIrv Lustig\, PhD leads Princeton Consultants’ development of custom optimization software. An internationally recognized leader in operations research and advanced analytics\, Irv joined Princeton Consultants from IBM Research\, where he cultivated state-of-the-art approaches for the next generation of optimization/business integration. Irv received Sc.B. and Sc.M. degrees in Applied Mathematics/Computer Science from Brown University and a Ph.D. in Operations Research from Stanford University\, where he studied under George Dantzig\, a founder of linear programming.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Orchestrating Optimization with Precision Agents
DESCRIPTION:Real-world operational decisions rarely align with a single optimization model or dataset. Business user questions often span multiple domains and require coordinated\, cross-functional analysis. Princeton Consultants Director Patricia Randall\, PhD will introduce AI Precision Agents as a practical architectural pattern for integrating GenAI language models with optimization models and analytical tools to create a cohesive decision ecosystem. \nMoving beyond the “GenAI hype”\, Patricia will focus on how Precision Agents orchestrate the use of mathematical models and analytical tools to produce concrete and actionable responses to multi-faceted operational questions. Rather than replacing optimization or simulation models\, Precision Agents provide a structured way to expose and coordinate them—particularly in conversational or question-driven interfaces. Using real world case studies\, Patricia will examine design patterns that support transparency\, safety\, and human oversight in AI-forward decision making. Attendees will leave with a concrete framework for integrating optimization into modern\, conversational decision support systems while preserving control and trust.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Optimization Solution Development and Deployment - A Framework for Success with Irv Lustig
DESCRIPTION:For more than 44 years\, Princeton Consultants has developed and deployed numerous applications that leverage optimization to make better decisions for our clients. We have developed a set of best practices over that time that are also reflected in the recently published INFORMS Analytics Framework (IAF)\, for which Irv was a key contributor. The IAF provides a roadmap for successful analytics projects\, including optimization\, and contains specific tasks related to risk management. \nIrv will describe both the IAF and the Princeton 20\, a set of 10 environmental and 10 technical risks to be evaluated at the commencement of any project. Understanding these risks in the context of the framework leads to best practices that improve the chances of success for your next optimization project. \nAs Optimization Principal at Princeton Consultants\, Irv leads our development of custom optimization software. An internationally recognized leader in operations research and advanced analytics\, Irv joined Princeton Consultants from IBM Research\, where he cultivated state-of-the-art approaches for the next generation of optimization/business integration. Irv received Sc.B. and Sc.M. degrees in Applied Mathematics/Computer Science from Brown University and a Ph.D. in Operations Research from Stanford University\, where he studied under George Dantzig\, the father of linear programming. He has authored more than 30 articles and scientific papers and has received the Beale-Orchard-Hays prize for excellence in computational mathematical programming. Irv is a longtime active member of INFORMS and a Certified Analytics Professional. \nRegister for the webinar here. \nThis webinar is sponsored by Princeton Consultants and Gurobi Optimization.
