This seminar will present recent learning-based approaches in combinatorial optimization. In particular, the use of reinforcement learning methods in planning and scheduling problems will be discussed through examples such as job-shop scheduling and stochastic vehicle routing problems. In addition, the role of large language models (LLMs) in guided exploration, decomposition-based reasoning, and decision-making processes will be evaluated with applications in routing, scheduling, and packing problems.
