Title: Unrealized Expectations: Comparing AI Methods vs Classical Algorithms for Maximum Independent Set
Abstract:
arXiv:2502.03669v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI methods, such as generative models and reinforcement learning, have recently been applied to combinatorial optimization (CO) problems, especially NP-hard ones. This paper compares such GPU-based methods with classical CPU-based methods on the Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem. Strikingly, even on in-distribution random graphs, leading AI-inspired methods are consistently outperformed by the state-of-the-art classical solver KaMIS r
