OPTIMAL Research project

The research project Optimization for and with Machine Learning (OPTIMAL) is an ENW-GROOT research project funded by NWO. It is a collaboration between researchers from Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA). It started in 2020 and will end in 2025. Research from this project will be shared in various events. For more information about this research project visit the project site OPTIMAL.uva.nl and the events calendar.
