Researchers have introduced a novel training technique called "Leader Reward" designed to improve the performance of neural networks in solving combinatorial optimization problems. This method focuses on enhancing the generation of optimal solutions, particularly for complex problems like the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), and Flexible Flow Shop Problem (FFSP). By applying Leader Reward during specific training phases of the Policy Optimization with Multiple Optima (POMO) model, the approach significantly boosts the quality of optimal solutions with minimal additional computational cost.
