Speaker: Kalyanmoy Deb, Koenig Endowed Chair Professor, Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA, kdeb@egr.msu.edu

Abstract:
For many years, practitioners were interested in solving problems, including in optimization AI, to find a single acceptable solution. With the advent of efficient methodologies and human quest for knowledge, optimization and AI systems are now embedded with existing knowledge or modified to extract essential knowledge to solve the problem. Efforts to explain AI systems with interpretable rules are also getting attention. In this talk, we present knowledge-involved optimization and AI applications in a variety of different problem solving tasks.
