Hi, great question @itsanas. And I agree–those terms can be overused.
We do, in fact, use machine learning. Primarily, we’re using Azure’s ML features. But we also use BigML and certain features on AWS. Last, COIN-OR has some really nice optimization toolsets that help us tweak and adapt the models.

Thanks and let me know if I can help answer anything else.
