Explainable Linear Programs
Back in 2020, when I worked in the supply chain side of Google,
I had a fun and impactful side project
related to human-level explanations of linear programs.A linear program is a mathematical model
that defines some number of variables,
linear constraints, and a linear objective function.
When some variables are forced to be integer (ILPs),
you can solve a lot of useful problems
like scheduling, routing, and packing.
That’s basically how all supply chain optimization works.But when solvers solv...
