arXiv:2602. 07216v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) trains fast heuristics for routing problems, but planners often need more than a single solve: they ask which stop to drop, which transition to preserve, or which subset of stops to remove if a route is infeasible.

arXiv:2503. 03137v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Constructive neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) offers a promising paradigm for solving vehicle routing problems (VRPs) by directly learning to construct approximate optimal solutions, thereby reducing reliance on expert knowledge for algorithm design.

Automated Algorithm Selection (AS) aims to improve problem-solving performance by selecting, for each problem instance, the most suitable algorithm from a predefined portfolio. This is particularly relevant to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), where solver performance is strongly instance-dependent.
arXiv:2601. 13465v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph neural networks are usually treated as auxiliaries for combinatorial optimization: they imitate algorithms, guide search, or supply scores to classical procedures.
