GOAL: A Generalist Combinatorial Optimization Agent Learning

We provide the code to learn to solve 16 standard combinatorial optimization problems.

Multi-task model is pretrained on eight problems:

• the Asymetric Traveling Salesman Problems (ATSP)
• the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP)
• the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (CVRPTW)
• the Orienteering Problem (OP)
• the Knapsack Problem (KP)
• the Minimum Vertex Covering (MVC)
• the Unrelated Parallel Machihe Scheduling (UPMS)
• the Job-Shop Schedulling Problem (JSSP)

Fine-tuning (supervised and unsupervised) is possible on eight new problems:

• the Traveling Repairman Problem (TRP)
• the Price Collecting Traveling Salesman Problem (PCTSP)
• the Split-Delivery Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (SDCVRP)
• the Open Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (OCVRP)
• the Sequential Ordering Problem (SOP)
• the Maximal Independent Set (MIS)
• the Maximum Covering Location Problem (MCLP)
• the Open-Shop Schedulling Problem (OSSP)
