Towards Constraint-Based Adaptive Hypergraph Learning for Solving Vehicle Routing: An End-to-End Solution

  • 构建约束导向的动态超边重构机制,提升超图表征能力。
  • 在标准数据集上优于传统方法,无需复杂启发式算子。
  • 适合需处理复杂约束的物流优化场景,可直接部署。

基于学习的方法在组合优化中的车辆路径问题(VRP)研究中已成为关键方向。这类问题具有巨大的解空间和复杂的约束条件,传统方法如精确数学模型或启发式算法往往计算开销大,或依赖复杂启发式算子才能获得最优或近似最优解。尽管一些近期学习方法在简单约束场景下表现良好,但难以有效处理实际中常见的硬约束。本文提出一种端到端框架,结合约束导向超图与强化学习来求解车辆路径问题。核心创新在于编码器中引入约束导向的动态超边重构策略,显著增强超图表示学习能力;解码器采用双指针注意力机制,迭代生成解。模型通过融合超图约束的异步参数更新及包含约束损失与策略梯度损失的双重损失函数进行训练。在基准数据集上的实验结果表明,该方法不仅避免了复杂启发式算子,且在解质量上实现显著提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The application of learning based methods to vehicle routing problems has emerged as a pivotal area of research in combinatorial optimization. These problems are characterized by vast solution spaces and intricate constraints, making traditional approaches such as exact mathematical models or heuristic methods prone to high computational overhead or reliant on the design of complex heuristic operators to achieve optimal or near optimal solutions. Meanwhile, although some recent learning-based methods can produce good performance for VRP with straightforward constraint scenarios, they often fail to effectively handle hard constraints that are common in practice. This study introduces a novel end-to-end framework that combines constraint-oriented hypergraphs with reinforcement learning to address vehicle routing problems. A central innovation of this work is the development of a constraint-oriented dynamic hyperedge reconstruction strategy within an encoder, which significantly enhances hypergraph representation learning. Additionally, the decoder leverages a double-pointer attention mechanism to iteratively generate solutions. The proposed model is trained by incorporating asynchronous parameter updates informed by hypergraph constraints and optimizing a dual loss function comprising constraint loss and policy gradient loss. The experiment results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach not only eliminates the need for sophisticated heuristic operators but also achieves substantial improvements in solution quality.
