Technology Showcase

Tuesday Oct 22 11:25am- 12:00pm | Summit 345 | Presented by Filipe Brandão and Robert Fourer

Python and its vast ecosystem are great for data pre-processing, solution analysis, and visualization, but Python’s design as a general-purpose programming language makes it less than ideal for expressing typical complex optimization problems. AMPL is a declarative language that is designed for describing problems and that integrates naturally with Python. 

In this presentation, we’ll survey a range of contexts where AMPL and Python work together to make optimization software simpler to use, faster to run, and easier to integrate with enterprise systems: 

  • Installing AMPL and solvers as Python packages anywhere
  • Importing and exporting data efficiently from/to Python data structures, including Pandas and Polars dataframes
  • Modeling and solving in Jupyter notebooks on Google Colab
  • Deploying to the cloud quickly and easily with Pandas, Streamlit, and amplpy

You’ll also see how generative AI technology is enabling a rapid development process for both AMPL and Python, reducing the time and effort to produce working applications that are ready for end-users.

Webinar with Nextmv: A stochastic facility location example

Decision science applications used in industry need to be adaptable to changing business requirements and accessible for stakeholder buy-in and team collaboration. 

One way to achieve this is by integrating AMPL for modeling and solving, Nextmv for model deployment and testing, and Streamlit for visualization and user interaction. Together, these three technologies provide decision science and operations research teams the opportunity to accelerate real-world impact of decision models. 

In this techtalk, join Filipe Brandão, AMPL Head of Development, and Nicole Misek, Nextmv VP of Engineering, as they discuss the value of integrating these tools together, share insights into the process, and walk through a live demo. They’ll do so through the lens of a facility location optimization example that leverages stochastic models and accounts for multiple constraints (e.g., transportation costs, labor availability, etc.).
