Abstract:
arXiv:2604.20109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a fundamental NP-hard task that poses significant challenges for both traditional heuristics and modern learning-based solvers. Existing QAP solvers still struggle to achieve consistently competitive performance across structurally diverse real-world instances. To bridge this performance gap, we propose PLMA, an innovative permutation learning framework. PLMA features an efficient warm-started MCMC finetu
