The paper presents a novel unsupervised combinatorial optimization framework called IC/DC, which directly trains a diffusion model from scratch without requiring expert-crafted heuristics or problem-specific search processes. The approach is designed to address CO problems involving two distinct sets of items and achieves state-of-the-art performance on challenging scenarios like the Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem (PMSP) and Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP). IC/DC employs a novel architecture that captures intricate relationships between items, enabling effective optimization in complex scenarios. The framework is showcased as a promising solution for generating near-optimal solutions without relying on human-expertise-based search.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
IC/DC is a new way to solve really hard math problems. It’s like a super smart computer program that can figure out the best answer without needing help from experts. This program is good at solving problems where you have two groups of things, and it doesn’t need to do extra work to make sure the answers are correct. IC/DC does so well on tricky problems that it beats other methods at solving them. It’s a big deal because it could help us solve more complex math problems in the future.
