Combinatorial Optimization Problems are a complex class of optimization problems, where the goal is to find the optimal solution concerning a given objective function from a finite candidate solution set.
Identifying the sources of practical information can inform machine learning components to guide the search and expedite the exploration effort of optimization algorithms.
Unique network features (e,g., spatial, temporal, and network measures) can be used to develop solution algorithms for networks.
This research aims to integrate machine learning and optimization algorithms to develop scalable and customizable solution methods for large-scale networks.
