Researchers have developed a new method called OP-to-MaxSAT reduction to create a general optimization solver named GORED. This approach unifies the solving of various optimization problems by converting them into MaxSAT instances, which can then be handled by existing solvers. Experiments across 11 types of optimization problems showed that GORED can successfully solve a wide range of problems with solution quality comparable to specialized methods. AI
