Enhancing Cross-Problem Vehicle Routing via Federated Learning

arXiv:2604.10652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vehicle routing problems (VRPs) constitute a core optimization challenge in modern logistics and supply chain management. The recent neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) has demonstrated superior efficiency over some traditional algorithms. While serving as a primary NCO approach for solving general VRPs, current cross-problem learning paradigms are still subject to performance degradation and generalizability decay, when transferring from simpl
