The INFORMS Analytics+ Conference showcased how companies are turning advanced analytics and AI into measurable operational results
Fake Hermès Birkin bags and other counterfeit luxury goods are popular not only with people on a budget, but also with those with deeper pockets, a new study suggests.
Researchers from the National University of Singapore analyzed millions of counterfeit purchases by American consumers from more than 24,000 U.S. zip codes on a major cross-border, e-commerce platform. They found that both lower- and higher-income individuals are “significantly more likely” to buy fake luxury items than middle-income consumers, according to a press release by INFORMS on Monday.
A machine learning program that identified patients overdue for colorectal cancer screening helped increase screening rates and was associated with significantly lower mortality, according to new research published in the INFORMS journal Manufacturing & Service Operations Management.

New York’s back-to-school season has rapidly descended into a chaotic scramble to finalize COVID-19 precautions under a dark cloud of uncertainty cast by the delta variant surge.
With the Delta variant now dominant across the nation, hospitals are seeing more young and middle age people seeking medical care. What is driving this phenomenon?
This August, school will begin for millions of students across the U.S. — on Aug.10 in Atlanta, Aug.16 in Los Angeles and Aug. 23 in Raleigh and Houston. The rise we have seen in cases of COVID-19 from the Delta variant is scary, resulting in hospitals that are overfull in Missouri, Arkansas and many small towns around the country. Unfortunately, it will get worse if school boards and health departments do not take actions now to protect their communities. New research from me and my students at North Carolina State University reflect this.
The delta variant of COVID-19 is spreading at an extremely rapid rate. It is now the dominant strain in the United States – and the world – and the number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths continue to rise. Outbreaks are among the highest in places with low vaccination rates.
New evidence about the Delta variant’s ability to infect and spread even among those who are fully vaccinated has been particularly alarming for parents of young children who are still not eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine.
