Optimal Transport-based Permutation-Invariant Bayesian Optimization of Offshore Wind Farm Layouts
Antonio Candelieri, Laurens Bliek
Bayesian Optimization (BO) is widely and successfully adopted for solving optimization problems having an expensive-to-evaluate, black-box, and non-convex objective function. Howev…
End-to-end Deep Reinforcement Learning for Stochastic Multi-objective Optimization in C-VRPTW
Abdo Abouelrous, Laurens Bliek, Yaoxin Wu +1
In this work, we consider learning-based applications in routing to solve a Vehicle Routing variant characterized by stochasticity and multiple objectives. Such problems are repres…
Reinforcement Learning for Solving the Pricing Problem in Column Generation: Applications to Vehicle Routing
Abdo Abouelrous, Laurens Bliek, Adriana F. Gabor +2
In this paper, we address the problem of Column Generation (CG) using Reinforcement Learning (RL). Specifically, we use a RL model based on the attention-mechanism architecture to…
Graph Reduction with Unsupervised Learning in Column Generation: A Routing Application
Abdo Abouelrous, Laurens Bliek, Adriana F. Gabor +2
Column Generation (CG) is a popular method dedicated to enhancing computational efficiency in large scale Combinatorial Optimization (CO) problems. It reduces the number of decisio…
