To prepare for its next 100-year journey, Hilton has committed to building a leading force in Data and Analytics by standing up its first Operations Research and Data Science team.

We will share the first efforts in our journey to combine traditional Operations Research approaches with the power of ML/AI that would enable data-centric predictive and prescriptive decision making. A couple of use cases, contributions, and challenges will be discussed to illustrate how Operations Research has changed and challenged the way business decisions were made traditionally.
