What Bertrand Russell would say today

Posted on December 5, 2025 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Martin Milani: “Bertrand Russell didn’t trust language to express truth. He built a new system—formal logic—to make thought precise. In Principia Mathematica, Russell didn’t try to say things clearly. He tried to prove them. Today’s AI skips that step. It … Continue reading →

LLM humanizes Optimization Solver’s results

Posted on September 4, 2025 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Tiago de Morais Montanher altered the data for the classic transportation problem to render the problem infeasible. Then he called the conflict refiner from CPLEX to obtain a list with 5 points like the one below: _TConflictConstraint(name=’capacity_seattle’, element=docplex.mp.LinearConstraint[capacity_seattle](quantity_seattle_new_york+quantity_seattle_chicago+quantity_seattle_topeka,LE,350), status=<ConflictStatus.Member: 3>) … Continue reading →
