AI4OPT researchers shared cutting-edge work at #INFORMS2025 in Atlanta, advancing the fusion of AI and optimization across logistics, energy, and manufacturing. Read more about the team’s impact: www.ai4opt.org/news-events/...
In Hans Mittelmann’s presentation on optimization benchmark results at #informs2025, he raised the point that benchmarking enters a new era with AI being used under the hood by solvers in one way or another.
I was happy to see him remembered and awarded a posthumous honorable mention to the ICS Prize last night at #informs2025
(To be clear, given my role at ICS, I did not influence the award committee’s decision about this.)
A packed @tslsociety.bsky.social business meeting today at #informs2025. Congratulations to Cynthia Barnhart of MIT for being the first female recipient of the Robert Herman Lifetime Achievement Award! Great to see so many friends at this business meeting.
Group photo taken at the Resilient Networks session at #informs2025. My @isenbergumass.bsky.social PhD student @ismaelpour.bsky.social presented our paper published recently in ITOR on crop and cargo war risk insurance. This is joint work with Borys Kormych.

Perfect view from my hotel room for #informs2025 with a double stacked train rumbling by. I will tell the students about it in my Transportation & Logistics cisss @isenbergumass.bsky.social when I return.
If the LLM that you use for preparing your job application is the same LLM used by the recruiter on the other side for identifying top candidates, does that improve your chances?
Jiannan Xu showed us at #informs2025 Data Mining workshop that YES, it does!

Almost packed and very much looking forward to #INFORMS2025 in Atlanta!

It’s not easy to face these renewed attempts at exclusion — but I’m not discouraged and look forward to #INFORMS2025 with optimism and resolve. Research misconduct and “exception policies” to avoid scrutiny must stop. ✨🌿

I just sent a strong letter ⚖️📑. All I ask now, Dave & Elena, is simple: Let me present my accepted paper Science Eroded (tinyurl.com/scienceeroded) at @informs.bsky.social #INFORMS2025 in Atlanta as originally agreed on and planned. Fairness matters.
Still hoping to hear from @informs.bsky.social members!Doesn’t blocking an accepted #INFORMS2025 paper (tinyurl.com/scienceeroded) without due process feel like an extreme step? I believe we owe each other fairness—even in disagreement 😔 (are there really people advocating for shielding misconduct?)
It feels like double jeopardy: Colorado justice system ⚖️ and INFORMS leadership 🚫 both try to silence me—a whistleblower—at #INFORMS2025 😔
@informs.bsyk.social members, this is not right. Please speak up!
