[Opt-Net] Rewarding Winter Optimization Challenge by Kaggle and FICO

[Oliver Bastert]

Dear Colleagues,

Kaggle has kicked off its annual winter optimization challenge (https://www.kaggle.com/c/helping-santas-helpers): an unusual and difficult job shop scheduling problem that has to be solved.

Researchers, professionals and students are invited to participate and have a go at the prize money. You are free to use the tools of your choice and there is a special prize for submissions (https://www.kaggle.com/c/helping-santas-helpers/details/compete-with-fico-xpress) using FICO Xpress; see  https://community.fico.com/community/products-%26-solutions-support/xpressdiscuss for more information.

Kaggle is known mainly for hosting analytics competitions. This is an opportunity for OR practitioners to compete with data scientists on a large-scale problem.

Good luck!

Oliver
