Lecture series »Felix-Klein-Colloquium« / June 16, 2026, 5:15 – 6:30 p.m.
»How Can Solutions in Mathematical Optimization Be Explained Using Data?«
The lecture provides an overview of current developments in mathematical optimization and highlights the challenge of designing optimal solutions that are also transparent. In doing so, explainability is introduced as an additional criterion, creating a tension between solution quality and interpretability.
Using selected examples and methods, the talk demonstrates how practical and easily understandable solutions can be found even for complex problems.
