Untangling the complexity of demand forecasting models: building a Market Simulator
Pablo Alfaro

Join us as we take a deep dive into the intricacies of our design process toward creating a demand simulator in Python. In this talk, we will discuss our modeling choices for both the demand and the market. We will also share how developing a simulator can help understand how models learn and adapt to changing realities and conditions.

The demand simulator has been essential in our efforts to continuously improve our strategies and provide the best demand forecasting models. Staying competitive in a tough market requires conducting research, and we hope to inspire others by showing what can be achieved.
