Project description
In the industry various decisions are taken that are sequential and of which the impact is uncertain due to numerous random factors. Often these decisions are taken manually based on a number of simple rules of thumb. This can be done much better by developing smart algorithms that leverage data.
In this project, we will focus on a set of specific decision problems for which we will develop such smart algorithms. Therefore, we will apply various methods, ranging from classic optimzation to more recent self-learning methods.
