New RL-HGGA algorithm speeds up bin packing problem solutions

Researchers have developed RL-HGGA, a novel algorithm that combines a metaheuristic approach with reinforcement learning to solve the one-dimensional bin packing problem. This hybrid method uses a Q-learning agent to dynamically select genetic operators, leading to a significant reduction in computation time while maintaining competitive solution quality. Experiments on benchmark datasets show RL-HGGA achieves an average optimality gap of 0.95%, a substantial improvement over previous methods in terms of efficiency. AI

    Hybridizing a Grouping Metaheuristic with Reinforcement Learning for the One-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem

    The one-dimensional bin packing problem (1D-BPP) is a canonical NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with broad industrial applications. We propose RL-HGGA, a hybrid algorithm that integrates Falkenauer's Hybrid Grouping Genetic Algorithm (HGGA) with a tabular Q-learning co…
