Can a user write a good MIP model without understanding linearization? Modelling languages such as AMPL and AIMMS are being extended to support more features, with the goal of making MIP modelling easier. A big step is the incorporation of predicates, such a “cycle” which encapsulate MIP sub-models. This talk explores the impact of such predicates … MIP Modelling Made Manageable

Kernel-based approaches have emerged as powerful tools for solving problems of that kind, and especially multiple kernel learning … Juho Rousu: Predicting Drug Interactions with Kernel Methods
