Graph‐based imitation and reinforcement learning for efficient Benders decomposition
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This work introduces an end‐to‐end graph‐based agent for accelerating the computational efficiency of Benders Decomposition. The agent's policy is parameterized by a graph neural network, which takes as input a bipartite graph representation of the master problem and proposes a candidate solution.
