Abstract:Neural Combinatorial Optimization has emerged as a new paradigm in the optimization area. It attempts to solve optimization problems by means of neural networks and reinforcement learning. In the last few years, due to their novelty and presumably good performance, many research papers have been published introducing new neural architectures for a variety of combinatorial problems. However, the incorporation of such models in the conventional optimization portfolio raises many questions related to their perfor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
