Scheduling That Speaks: An Interpretable Programmatic Reinforcement Learning Framework

arXiv:2605.18454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has recently emerged as a promising approach to solve combinatorial optimization problems such as job shop scheduling. However, the policies learned by DRL are typically represented by deep neural networks (DNNs), whose opaque neural architectures and non-interpretable policy decisions can lead to critical trust and usability concerns for human decision makers. In addition, the computational requirements of DNNs
