The paper proposes a unifying perspective called Graph Reinforcement Learning (GRL), which combines techniques from different fields like chemistry, computer science, and statistics. GRL is a constructive decision-making method for solving graph-based combinatorial optimization problems. The authors review works that optimize graph structure or process outcomes under fixed graph structures, highlighting the common challenges faced by the field.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper takes a look at how machines can make decisions on complex systems like graphs. It brings together ideas from different areas like chemistry and computer science to find better ways to solve problems. The goal is to create a new way of thinking called Graph Reinforcement Learning that helps us make good choices when dealing with graph-based puzzles.
