Abstract: A device receives an optimization problem and a target value and input data for the optimization problem, and specifies constraints for the optimization problem based on the input data. The device identifies an optimization space for the optimization problem based on the constraints and the input data, and divides the optimization space into sub-regions based on the constraints and the input data. The device performs optimizations of a set of the sub-regions, and determines a respective distance of each sub-region, of the set of the sub-regions, from the target value. The device selects a particular sub-region that is a shortest distance from the target value, and selects a vector from the particular sub-region. The device executes the optimization problem using the vector as an initial parameter and to generate results, and utilizes the results to recommend one or more decisions or modify a process.

Abstract: A system provides a configurable market mix modeling (MMM) platform based on machine-learning (ML). The system may include configurable MMM pipelines in which an end user may identify portions and/or inputs to the MMM pipelines to be included or excluded from ML modeling. The system may apply ML to market data to automatically discover variables that correlate with a key performance indicator (PKI) such as sales to be used for modeling. The system may automatically generate multiple models, filter the models for robustness and ensemble the filtered models to generate a unified model. The unified model may be optimized using a multi-layered approach and introducing deviations into the model.
