Applied Mathematics Graduate Student Seminar: Steven Maio, NC State, A Machine Learning Primal Heuristic for Mixed-Integer Programming

SAS 4201

Applications of machine learning (ML) in mixed-integer program (MIP) optimization is an active area of research. The human-designed heuristics used by MIP solvers rely on domain expertise and years of experience with the expectation of applicability to only a specific problem class. The underlying question is whether training can simulate expertise and experience. We consider…
