Abstract
Systems and methods for constraint-based optimization, comprising: an AI demand forecasting engine, an optimization engine, a user-defined objective, and a user-defined set of constraints. Using historical sales data, the AI demand forecasting engine generates a plurality of entities, each entity defined by a placement of an item in a promotion platform; and forecasts the objective associated with each entity. The optimization engine generates a plurality of plans, each plan consisting of a unique subset of entities. Plans that violate at least one constraint are eliminated by the optimization engine, leaving a set of candidate solutions. An optimum plan is selected from the set of candidate solutions based on maximization of the objective.
