Researchers have introduced LINC (Local Inference via Normed Comparison), a novel architecture for constructive neural routing solvers. LINC explicitly computes one-step consequences like travel and capacity changes, decoupling this from the hidden matching process. This approach aims to improve performance on complex routing problems, as demonstrated by significant reductions in solution gaps for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (CVRPTW), Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), and Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP).
