Abstract

Deep learning (DL) has been successfully applied to a variety of signal and information processing tasks with outstanding results. It consists of computational models composed by multiple processing layers whose goal is to learn data representation considering multiple levels of abstraction. Several recent attempts to address combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) by deep networks can be observed in the literature. In spite of the efforts, to develop models competitive with state-of-the-art heuristic methods remains a challenge. One of the major problems of DL for COPs, mainly in the end-to-end learning solutions, not yet overcome is the scalability. Therefore, this project proposes incorporating deep learning in a local search-based metaheuristic. For such, a linear-time deep learning strategy based on neighborhoods in graphs will be investigated. The goal is to achieve scalability and obtain competitive results in tackling routing problems.
