AI for TSP Competition
Goal
In the AI for TSP competition we try to solve optimization problems using machine learning. The competition will be hosted at the Data Science meets Optimization workshop at IJCAI21 and consists of two tracks:
- Online supervised learning using surrogate models
- Reinforcement learning
The goal of this competition is to strengthen the relation between the machine learning field and the optimization field. You can learn more about the competition here.
