Reinforcement learning for combinatorial optimization (Help with PhD research)

No I have not, but I will :slight_smile: I fought that this kind of approach is quite novel, therefore was looking for more recent work, but I expect that beginning from the “basics” would be a good idea.

I have found a recent published publication, which is quite suitable for this approach. However, I lack technical understatement of the input data (architecture) and logic of the whole process, therefore hopping to find a course, which would cover combinatorial optimization and deep learning integration.
