For day two of the DSI 2025 conference, had the great pleasure of taking two distinguished keynote speakers Maxime Cohen<\/a> and Yunyao Li (hiring)<\/a> for lunch at our conference hotel. Again, the food were great and conversations were very enjoyable. Great to know more details about Yunyao\u2019s work on AI at Adobe<\/a> and Maxime\u2019s forthcoming book on AI in Pricing. Thank you two for joining the 56th Decision Sciences Institute<\/a> conference as keynote speakers. Maxime\u2019s talk garnered great interest from audience (big shot to Natalie Simpson<\/a> for moderating the session). Very much looking forward to Yunyao\u2019s keynote on LLMs, which will be moderated by David Dobrzykowski<\/a>, starting at 2:50pm.<\/p>\n
