This paper describes a greedy heuristic for a class of combinatorial optimization problems; a central feature of the method being a look-ahead capability. The power of the heuristic is demonstrated ...

Integer programming and combinatorial optimization form the backbone of many decision-making and resource allocation problems across diverse fields, from logistics and telecommunications to finance ...

A new technical paper titled “Analog optical computer for AI inference and combinatorial optimization” was published by researchers at Microsoft Research, Barclays and University of Cambridge.

The proposed algorithm combines variational scheduling with post-processing to achieve near-optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems with constraints within the operation time of ...
