Structure As Search: Unsupervised Permutation Learning for Combinatorial Optimization
Yimeng Min, Carla P. Gomes
We propose a non-autoregressive framework for the Travelling Salesman Problem where solutions emerge directly from learned permutations, without requiring explicit search. By apply…

Unsupervised Ordering for Maximum Clique
Yimeng Min, Carla P. Gomes
We propose an unsupervised approach for learning vertex orderings for the maximum clique problem by framing it within a permutation-based framework. We transform the combinatorial…

Unsupervised Learning for Quadratic Assignment
Yimeng Min, Carla P. Gomes
We introduce PLUME search, a data-driven framework that enhances search efficiency in combinatorial optimization through unsupervised learning. Unlike supervised or reinforcement l…
