5 results for VRP

We present an end-to-end framework for solving the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) using reinforcement learning. In this approach, we train a single model that finds near-optimal solutions for problem instances sampled from a given distribution, only by observing the reward signals and following feasibility rules. Our mo…

DPDP combines neural heuristics with DP for vehicle routing problems.

problem Vehicle routing problems with large scale.
method Deep Policy Dynamic Programming (DPDP) that uses a neural network policy to prioritize and restrict the DP state space.
result DPDP improves upon classical DP algorithms and outperforms neural approaches for TSP, VRP, and TSPTW.

The recently presented idea to learn heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems is promising as it can save costly development. However, to push this idea towards practical implementation, we need better models and better ways of training. We contribute in both directions: we propose a model based on attention …
