Large Neighborhood Search based on Neural Construction Heuristics

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
We propose a Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) approach utilizing a learned construction heuristic based on neural networks as repair operator to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). Our method uses graph neural networks to encode the problem and auto-regressively decodes a solution and is trained with reinforcement learning on ...

A machine learning framework for neighbor generation in metaheuristic search

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023
This paper presents a methodology for integrating machine learning techniques into metaheuristics for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Namely, we propose a general machine learning framework for neighbor generation in metaheuristic search. We

An Effective Decomposition-Based Stochastic Algorithm for Solving the Permutation Flow-Shop Scheduling Problem

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2021
This paper presents an effective stochastic algorithm that embeds a large neighborhood decomposition technique into a variable neighborhood search for solving the permutation flow-shop scheduling problem. The algorithm first constructs a permutation as a

Solving DCOPs with Distributed Large Neighborhood Search

open access: yesCoRR, 2017
The field of Distributed Constraint Optimization has gained momentum in recent years, thanks to its ability to address various applications related to multi-agent cooperation. Nevertheless, solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) optimally is NP-hard.

Adaptive large neighborhood search for mixed integer programming [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Programming Computation, 2021
AbstractLarge Neighborhood Search (LNS) heuristics are among the most powerful but also most expensive heuristics for mixed integer programs (MIP). Ideally, a solver adaptively concentrates its limited computational budget by learning which LNS heuristics work best for the MIP problem at hand.

Revisiting the Self-adaptive Large Neighborhood Search

open access: yes, 2018
This paper revisits the Self-Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search introduced by Laborie and Godard. We propose a variation in the weight-update mechanism especially useful when the LNS operators available in the portfolio exhibit unequal running times. We also propose some generic relaxations working for a large family of problems in a black-box fashion.

Multi-objective Discrete Combinatorial Optimization Algorithm Combining Problem-Decomposition and Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search [PDF]

open access: yesJisuanji kexue yu tansuo
In order to efficiently obtain solutions for large-scale multi-objective optimization problems in reality, to achieve a balance among convergence, diversity, and uniformity has gradually become one of the important goals in multi-objective optimization ...

Hybridizing large neighborhood search and exact methods for generalized vehicle routing problems with time windows

open access: yesEURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics, 2021
Delivery options are at the heart of the generalized vehicle routing problem with time windows (GVRPTW) allowing that customer requests are shipped to alternative delivery locations which can also have different time windows.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
