旅行商问题(TSP)是组合优化的基石,广泛存在于实际场景中。尽管已有基于图的学习方法研究TSP,但如何更有效地利用图结构仍存挑战。本文提出异向图扩散网络(AGDN),一种新型图神经网络框架,旨在解决两个核心难题:(1) 全连接TSP图缺乏有信息量的拓扑先验;(2) 常用图稀疏化技术会丢失最优解中的连通节点。为此,我们构建了混合评分转移矩阵,融合节点相似性与成对距离,并提出异向图扩散策略,支持多跳间高效信息传递。在涵盖不同实例规模与节点分布的全面实验中,AGDN持续优于现有方法,同时保持计算时间竞争力。此外,AGDN在训练未见的问题规模与分布上也表现出良好泛化能力。代码已公开于:https://github.com/LabRAI/AGDN。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a cornerstone of combinatorial optimization and arises in many practical scenarios. Although graph-based learning approaches have been explored for TSP, the question of how to exploit graph structure more effectively remains open. We present the Anisotropic Graph Diffusion Network (AGDN), a new Graph Neural Network framework designed to solve TSP. Our method tackles two central difficulties: (1) the lack of informative topological prior in fully connected TSP graphs, and (2) losing connected nodes in the optimal solution after the commonly used graph sparsification techniques. To overcome these issues, we construct a MixScore transition matrix that merges node similarity with pairwise distance, and we develop an anisotropic graph diffusion strategy that supports efficient information exchange across multiple hops. Comprehensive experiments spanning diverse instance sizes and node distributions show that AGDN consistently outperforms existing methods while keeping computation time competitive. Furthermore, AGDN generalizes well to problem sizes and distributions beyond those seen during training. The implementation is publicly available at: https://github.com/LabRAI/AGDN.
