mathematical modeling and optimization algorithms to solve complex problems.
Operations Research (OR) has long been a cornerstone in optimizing
decision-making processes, resource allocation, and efficiency improvements
across diverse industries. Deep Learning, a subset of machine learning inspired
by the human brain's neural networks, introduces a paradigm shift by enabling
systems to learn and make decisions from data. The synergy between these two
fields holds immense potential for addressing the intricate challenges faced by
industries today. In recent years, the integration of Deep Learning (DL)
techniques has emerged as a transformative force, pushing the boundaries of
what's possible within the realm of Operations Research. The edited book
entitled "Deep Learning Approaches in Operations Research" delves
into the multifaceted landscape of Deep Learning Approaches in Operations
Research, exploring their applications, challenges, and the promising avenues
they open for innovation.</span></p>
