In case you missed @CalvinTsay's tweet, we have just released a survey along with @gmunoz_m and Joey Huchette on polyhedral theory in deep learning: arxiv.org/abs/2305.00241
This thread covers the main points, why we did this, and why you should care about it. Read along!

Many people I hadn’t met before stopped me at #INFORMS2024 to tell me they either have or plan to assign some of my teaching materials to their students (games and/or YouTube videos). That fills my heart with joy! Thank you! ❤️ Let me know what your students thought, please!
I was also asked to create games on other topics. I’ll try my best!

New research: U.S. presidential election could be swayed by as few as 50,000 voters strategically relocating less than 100 miles. Our study explores how small, coordinated movements can boost a candidate's chance by up to 8%. Read more in "The Sensitivity of the U.S. Presidential Election to Coordinated Voter Relocation:"

I prosecuted sexual assault cases in Texas.
I prosecuted these cases for 17 years.
I never prosecuted an undocumented immigrant for rape.
I prosecuted multiple Christian pastors for rape.
As a descendant of a holocaust survivor, I have to speak up against this hate.

Excited to release Part I of Optimizing with Column Generation. Not a draft. Two years of hard work led to 300 pages covering CG principles in depth. Check OptimizingWithColumnGenerati… Your feedback will help us with the forthcoming Part II on advanced techniques!
