RLNS regularizes LNS to perform block Gibbs sampling under entropy, interpolating between pseudolikelihood and exact MLE for differentiable combinatorial optimization.
SPACE framework unifies symmetric and asymmetric VRPs via bidirectional Frechet representations and weight-decomposed decoding for zero-shot generalization across 110 variants.
MEMOIR adds branch-local and global memory with a reflection step to tree search for LLM solver synthesis, reaching 96.7% solution validity and 7.3-point score gains over baselines on seven CO problems with lower run-to-run variance.
NCP trains a neural network to predict certificate-level dual prices for CO problems, enabling structured primal recovery with a local second-order error guarantee when consistency holds.
The work constructs a permutation-equivariant quantum GNN that implements message passing at selectable Weisfeiler-Leman levels, supports pre-training on small graphs, and demonstrates readout scalability with simulations up to 56 qubits on synthetic, molecular, and TSP datasets.
A geometry-enhanced non-autoregressive neural TSP solver with multi-candidate RL cuts the TSPLIB optimality gap from 17.12% to 3.60% while solving in milliseconds per instance.
VaFM encodes constraint-specific VRP images via CNN into patch embeddings fused with graph nodes, using an auxiliary task to handle pixel imbalance, and reports better performance than prior methods on 16 VRP variants.
R2E-IG combines residual refined experts with instance-level gating and mixed-distribution training using dynamic weight adaptation to improve generalization of DRL solvers for vehicle routing problems.
GOAL uses conditioned diffusion on relational graphs with typed edges to produce feasible multi-objective solutions for scheduling problems, reporting 100% feasibility and sub-0.2% MAPE on FSP, JSP, and FJSP up to 20 jobs.
Multipartite GNN learns MILP formulations of network interdiction to outperform baselines on bi-level combinatorial tasks.
Presents three new training procedures for regression trees that enforce convex output constraints at training time and validates them on synthetic and hierarchical time-series data.
CCEM parameterizes compositional energy factors with input-convex neural networks and optimizes over a convex relaxation to enable deterministic scaling from small to large combinatorial reasoning instances.
A two-stage ML pipeline unions α-Nearest and POPMUSIC candidate edges then prunes single-source edges via a classifier, cutting TSP graph density 37-47% with ≥99.69% optimal-tour recall.
HyperNS clusters TSP cities with a sparse heatmap, builds a hyper tour over supernodes, and restricts neighborhood search to hyper-tour-relevant edges to improve solution quality on large instances.
A Transformer model trained via supervised learning on ILP solutions for a new nursing care taxi dispatch VRP variant reduces operating time by up to 8% on small instances while keeping constraint violations low.
Supplementary results on 1-tree relaxation performance inside a GCN-augmented branch-and-bound solver for TSP.
