Core Concepts
Designing a network and training scheme for large-scale ILPs using modern convex optimization techniques.
Abstract
This article introduces DYS-net, a method for learning to solve ILPs efficiently. It discusses the challenges of reconciling discrete combinatorial problems with gradient-based frameworks and proposes a solution that scales effortlessly to large problems. The experiments verify the effectiveness of DYS-net on representative problems like the shortest path and knapsack problems.
