The paper introduces an integrated optimization framework that links automated warehouse operations with last‑mile multi‑modal transport for differentiated on‑demand delivery. It employs a deep reinforcement learning approach—MORM‑AGDQN for warehouse scheduling and MRMH‑HCVRP for external routing—to balance service level, cost, and demand. The results demonstrate significant performance gains, including a 100 % on‑time delivery rate, a 29.3 % reduction in average last‑mile delivery time, a 46.4 % cut in total transportation distance, and a high‑priority service rate exceeding 92 % while maintaining cost‑customer satisfaction balance.
The paper introduces MEMENTO, a memory‑enhanced neural solver that improves routing problem solutions by using online data from repeated attempts to adjust action distributions during inference. It targets NP‑hard routing tasks such as the Traveling Salesman and Capacitated Vehicle Routing problems, outperforming existing tree‑search and policy‑gradient fine‑tuning methods. MEMENTO demonstrates strong scalability and data efficiency, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on 11 of 12 evaluated tasks and enabling zero‑shot integration with diversity‑based solvers.

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.
