The abstract follows.
Combinatorial optimization problems arising in transportation are often
NP-hard, making them computationally challenging to solve at scale.
Recent advances in machine learning have opened new avenues for tackling
such problems, either as standalone solution strategies or by enhancing
traditional optimization algorithms. This talk surveys a spectrum of
learning-based approaches for transportation optimization, including:
(i) end-to-end learning models, (ii) integration within exact
algorithms, (iii) learning to guide local search, (iv) accelerating
metaheuristics, (v) embedding within optimization formulations, and (vi)
test-time search strategies. This talk will discuss the principles
behind each approach, highlight representative applications, and reflect
on both their current potential and open challenges for the future of
transportation optimization.
The next talk in our series will be:
Zijie Zhou (IEDA, HKUST) | October 29 | Efficient and Robust Large
Language Model (LLM) Inference Scheduling Optimization
