Hello AIMMS Community!

We're thrilled to extend an invitation to you for our AIMMS project designed for the AIMMS Santa 2023 Challenge. 🚀

Overview:
Our project provides a straightforward approach to tackle the AIMMS Santa Challenge of 2023. It includes essential data structures and procedures to kickstart your journey. In this initial version, our primary focus is on generating the sample submission file, laying the foundation for further optimizations.

Quick Start:
To get started, use the `MainExecution` procedure. It's designed to replicate the sample submission, for learning purposes.

Data Handling:
You'll find parquet files with all the necessary data for individual IDs in the `parquet` folder. Whether you choose to regenerate them or read directly, you'll significantly enhance model performance.

Key Procedures and Structures:
Explore key procedures like `pr_importAllFiles` and `pr_exportSubmissionFile` to streamline data handling and result exporting.
