Our Technology Showcase:

GAMSPy: Powering Mathematical Optimization and Machine Learning in Python

Presented by: Adam Christensen & Steven Dirkse

This showcase offers a glimpse into the world of modeling with GAMSPy – a powerful mathematical optimization package that merges the high-performance GAMS execution system with the flexibility of the Python language. The result is a complete mathematical optimization package that can be deployed anywhere – effortlessly.

Join us to explore GAMSPy’s fundamental functionalities through practical examples. We’ll cover everything from defining sets, parameters, variables, and equations to solving models and retrieving results, all within a familiar Python environment. Beyond the basics, we’ll also provide a glimpse into more advanced Machine Learning features, demonstrating how GAMSPy can streamline complex modeling workflows and enhance your analytical capabilities.

Whether you’re a seasoned GAMS user looking to integrate with Python or a Python user curious about optimization, this workshop will equip you with essential skills needed to get started and demonstrate what is possible with GAMSPy.

Our Exhibitor Workshop:

Bridging Optimization and Machine Learning: An Exploration with GAMSPy

Presented by: Adam Christensen & Steven Dirkse

This workshop introduces GAMSPy – a powerful mathematical optimization package that merges the high-performance GAMS execution system with the flexibility of the Python language. The result is a complete mathematical optimization package that can be deployed anywhere – effortlessly.

Join us to explore GAMSPy’s fundamental functionalities through practical exercises. We’ll cover everything from defining sets, parameters, variables, and equations to solving models and retrieving results, all within a familiar Python environment. Beyond the basics, we’ll also provide a glimpse into more advanced features, demonstrating how GAMSPy can streamline complex modeling workflows and enhance your analytical capabilities.

A major focus of the session is the intersection of optimization and Machine Learning (ML). We will explore essential GAMSPy ML functionality – such as formulations for neural network layers, activation functions, and regression trees. These tools enable users to implement sophisticated constructs directly within their optimization models, offering flexibility across diverse use cases.

Whether you’re a seasoned GAMS user looking to integrate with Python or a Python user curious about optimization, this workshop will equip you with essential skills needed to get started and demonstrate what is possible with GAMSPy.
