Towards Utilitarian Combinatorial Assignment with Deep Neural Networks and Heuristic Algorithms

Artificial Intelligence 2021-07-02 v1

Abstract

This paper presents preliminary work on using deep neural networks to guide general-purpose heuristic algorithms for performing utilitarian combinatorial assignment. In more detail, we use deep learning in an attempt to produce heuristics that can be used together with e.g., search algorithms to generate feasible solutions of higher quality more quickly. Our results indicate that our approach could be a promising future method for constructing such heuristics.
