Decision diagrams meet quadratic mixed-integer optimization with indicator variables, a match made in heaven!!! Such an honor to get to work with @GomezAndres8 and @ShaoningHan on this project, now online at https://t.co/v4vJNFVN7n

[Gonzalo Muñoz @gmunoz_m]

Muchas gracias @InformsOS por este reconocimiento!

@xwj06 @ghanasusanto Congrats to you both!

[Oklahoma State Industrial Engineering & Management @OkStateIEM]

Dr. Juan Borrero has been granted an NSF CAREER Award! This is the third NSF CAREER award in two years for OSU IEM. We are so proud of our faculty for their hard work and accomplishments!

[Andrés Gómez @GomezAndres8]

@xwj06 @AlperAtamturk @SimgeKucukyavuz That is why we posted it online on Jan 1 at 12:01am. We wanted people saying “this is the best paper I have read this year”

[Gonzalo Muñoz @gmunoz_m]

The MIP 2022 Computational Competition has officially started!

Everyone is challenged to create a general-purpose heuristic for MIPs. LP-free is encouraged, but solving convex problems is allowed.

Details in https://t.co/52Ezwc8CDh

MPC expedited reviews will be offered 😀

[Andrés Gómez @GomezAndres8]

I an looking forward to having a MIP workshop in person again (hopefully), and meeting everyone in the community! Great line-up of speakers as well!

[Gonzalo Muñoz @gmunoz_m]

Mark your calendars! The 2022 MIP Workshop feat. DANniversary, will be held May 23-26, 2022, at DIMACS, Rutgers University.

This year MIP will also host a computational competition, to be launched on November 16th.

@xwj06 @NSF Great news Weijun! Congrats!

[USC Center for AI in Society @CAIS_USC]

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to @CAIS_USC student Nathan Jo!! His research w/ @phebe_vayanos & @GomezAndres8 has earned him the USC Discovery Scholar distinction and he is a finalist in the university-wide Discovery Scholar Prize Competition!!

[Leonardo Lozano @lozano_mono]

Excited to share our paper on discrete defender-attacker problems at IJOC (with Juan Borrero at OSU). We propose enhancements to traditional cutting-plane algorithms that considerably improve performance for a couple of sweet applications :) Link: https://t.co/oNwrrZKr80

[Salar Fattahi @Salar_Fattahi]

How to efficiently infer sparsely-changing Markov Random Fields in massive scales? We provide an answer in our new work:
https://t.co/YiqDYAbpb9
The key is to revisit the regularized MLE as the "Holy Grail" of graphical model inference. Joint work with the great @GomezAndres8

Congrats to @SimgeKucukyavuz for winning the IEMS Graduate Teaching Award - I don't have a picture of Simge with her students, so here's @mortondavidp presenting her award

[César A. Uribe @CesarAUribe]

Big shout out to the amazing 🇨🇴 scientist @Samantha_Gut Huge research exp @medialab @Yale @Northeastern @MGHMedicine Great papers. Created DEI programs @MIT. She's set for great things and applying to Grad School in Neuroscience 👀. PIs don't miss the chance to work with her.
