Most neural methods for Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) are limited to Euclidean settings or simple graphs. In this work, we instead consider multigraphs, where parallel edges represent distinct travel options with varying trade-offs (e.g.,…

Integer programming (IP) is a general optimization framework widely applicable to a variety of unstructured and structured problems arising in, e.g., scheduling, production planning, and graph optimization. As IP models many provably hard…

The Multidepot Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (MCVRP) is a well-known variant of the classic Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), where we need to route capacitated vehicles located in multiple depots to serve customers' demand…

This paper studies binary quadratic programs in which the objective is defined by a Euclidean distance matrix, subject to a general polyhedral constraint set. This class of nonconcave maximisation problems includes the capacitated,…

This work addresses the challenge of using a deep learning model to prune graphs and the ability of this method to integrate explainability into spatio-temporal problems through a new approach. Instead of applying explainability to the…

The orienteering problem is a route optimization problem which consists in finding a simple cycle that maximizes the total collected profit subject to a maximum distance limitation. In the last few decades, the occurrence of this problem in…

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Drones (VRPD) seeks to optimize the routing paths for both trucks and drones, where the trucks are responsible for delivering parcels to customer locations, and the drones are dispatched from these trucks…

We consider the problem of classifying data manifolds where each manifold represents invariances that are parameterized by continuous degrees of freedom. Conventional data augmentation methods rely upon sampling large numbers of training…

Machine learning pipelines for classification tasks often train a universal model to achieve accuracy across a broad range of classes. However, a typical user encounters only a limited selection of classes regularly. This disparity provides…

Mobile robotic platforms are an indispensable tool for various scientific and industrial applications. Robots are used to undertake missions whose execution is constrained by various factors, such as the allocated time or their remaining…

Nonlinear constrained optimization has a wide range of practical applications. In this paper, we consider nonlinear optimization with inequality constraints. The interior point method is considered to be one of the most powerful algorithms…

We study the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD), an important variant of the classical capacitated vehicle routing problem in which customer demands are modeled as random variables. We develop the first algorithm for…

An emerging class of trajectory optimization methods enforces collision avoidance by jointly optimizing the robot's configuration and a separating hyperplane. However, as linear separators only apply to convex sets, these methods require…

The recent end-to-end neural solvers have shown promise for small-scale routing problems but suffered from limited real-time scaling-up performance. This paper proposes GLOP (Global and Local Optimization Policies), a unified hierarchical…

The crew rostering problem (CRP) for pilots is a complex crew scheduling task assigning pairings, or sequences of flights starting and ending at the same airport, to pilots to create a monthly schedule. In this paper, we propose an…

This paper addresses the development of conflict graph-based algorithms and data structures into the COIN-OR Branch-and-Cut (CBC) solver, including: $(i)$ an efficient infrastructure for the construction and manipulation of conflict graphs;…

Cutting-plane methods are well-studied localization(and optimization) algorithms. We show that they provide a natural framework to perform machinelearning ---and not just to solve optimization problems posed by machinelearning--- in…

The paper investigates a dial-a-ride problem focusing on the residents of large cities. These individuals have the opportunity to use a wide variety of transportation modes. Because of this, ridepooling providers have to solve the tradeoff…

Existing neural heuristics often train a deep architecture from scratch for each specific vehicle routing problem (VRP), ignoring the transferable knowledge across different VRP variants. This paper proposes the cross-problem learning to…

A novel method to identify salient computational paths within randomly wired neural networks before training is proposed. The computational graph is pruned based on a node mass probability function defined by local graph measures and…
