My single-author paper on an enhanced adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm for the multiple allocation p-hub location problem in video-on-demand services has recently been published in @ifors_itor doi.org/10.1111/itor.70217 #ITOR #IFORS #OperationsResearch #ResearchPaper

Can today's LLMs design efficient optimization algorithms, rather than just write a formulation and call a solver? In practice, this question remains largely underexplored. 🚀 We built 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗢𝗥 to find out: the first literature-grounded benchmark targeting LLM-generated algorithm efficiency on large-scale optimization problems. 🧩 What's inside • 180 problems drawn from top-tier OR venues • Large-scale instances on which Gurobi fails to reach optimality within an hour • Rigorous evaluation suite per task, verified by OR experts through multi-round review 🔍 What we found • The strongest model outperforms Gurobi in computational efficiency on only 31% of instances • Test-time self-evolution helps, yet beats Gurobi on at most ~50% of the hardest tasks • Strategy diverges: weak models call a monolithic solver; strong ones go for decomposition and heuristics, where the real gains (and failures) live 💡 Takeaway For real-world OR, a real gap still remains between "LLMs as coding assistants" and "LLMs as algorithm designers." FrontierOR gives the community a rigorous way to measure it. 🔥Try it and see where your models land! 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/html/2605.25246v1 🤗 Data: huggingface.co/datasets/Smar… 💻 GitHub: github.com/Minw913/FrontierO… 🌐 Website: frontieror.vercel.app #LLM #OperationsResearch #Optimization #AIagents #Benchmark

Excited to be participating in the Modern Day Marine 2026 Artificial Intelligence Forum Hackathon at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. This event brings together Marines, civilians, industry, and academic partners to tackle real-world logistics and sustainment challenges using AI and data-driven solutions. From predictive maintenance to supply chain optimization and installation incident response, the focus is on developing practical, scalable capabilities that directly impact readiness and operational effectiveness. Over the next few days, teams will collaborate to prototype solutions that support decision advantage across the force and push forward innovation in contested logistics environments. Looking forward to engaging, building, and collaborating with others who are passionate about applying AI to mission-critical problems. #ModernDayMarine #AI #Hackathon #LOGCOM #CDAO #DataAnalytics #OperationsResearch #MilitaryInnovation #DoD #ArtificialIntelligence

🎯 Can a DEA efficiency measure be truly "well-defined"? We introduce GRAM — satisfying 6 properties at once, with a dual interpretation as shadow profit maximization. 📄 EJOR 2022 w/ J.F. Monge 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2022.… #DEA #Efficiency #OperationsResearch

Day 15 : Optimization Practice ✔ Revisited linear programming basics ✔ Practiced defining constraints clearly 💡 Insight: A good model starts with clearly defined constraints, not complex equations. ➡️ Next: Improve optimization logic #Optimization #OperationsResearch

I was warmly received at the @uonbi by the Dean. As President of Operations Research for East Africa, I chaired the Executive Committee meeting, bringing together representatives from the University of Nairobi, @UdsmOfficial and @OfficialMubs The Committee resolved to extend membership to the Institute of Finance Management and the @UNZA_ZM further strengthening regional collaboration. We held productive and forward-looking deliberations on advancing Operations Research across East Africa. #OperationsResearch #RegionalCollaboration #HigherEducation #EastAfrica
