Deep Reinforcement Learning on Item-Compatibility Graphs for One-Dimensional Bin Packing

The paper introduces a novel end‑to‑end, size‑agnostic graph reinforcement learning framework for the one‑dimensional bin packing problem (1D‑BPP). It models packing as a Markov decision process on an item‑compatibility graph, where a graph neural network actor‑critic policy learns to merge compatible partial bins. Empirical results on the BPPLIB benchmark show that the learned policy reduces the mean optimality gap of a constructive heuristic from 2.66 % to 2.31 %, performs competitively against other learned methods, and outperforms a state‑of‑the‑art learned solver on the hardest benchmark family.

OpenHail: An Event-Driven Gymnasium Environment for Electric Ride-Hailing Fleet Control

OpenHail is an open-source Gymnasium environment designed for controlling electric ride‑hailing fleets. It offers a fixed‑size observation–action interface that handles request assignment, repositioning, and charging, while its event‑driven simulator models pickup deadlines, vehicle job queues, battery dynamics, and finite‑capacity charging facilities with FIFO queues. The environment supports various decision‑epoch mechanisms—event‑driven, periodic, hybrid, and policy‑requested—allowing flexible policy interactions within a unified operational model, and includes tools for evaluation, metrics, and baseline policies.
