Learning and Intelligent Optimization (LION) is the combination of learning from data and optimization applied to solve complex and dynamic problems. The LION way is about increasing the automation level and connecting data directly to decisions and actions.

Almost by definition, optimization, the automated search for improving solutions, is a source of a tremendous power for continually improving processes, decisions, products and services. This is related to decision making (picking the best among a set of given possible solutions) but goes beyond that, by actively searching for and creatively generating new solutions.
