This paper proposes a novel neural network model called Graph Edge Attention Network (GREAT) for tackling combinatorial optimization problems like routing problems. The authors argue that traditional graph neural networks (GNNs) are limited in their ability to operate on dense graphs, which is often the case in real-world settings. To overcome these limitations, GREAT uses edge-based attention mechanisms to focus on promising edges in the graph. The paper evaluates GREAT’s performance in the edge-classification task for predicting optimal edges in the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and demonstrates its ability to produce sparse TSP graphs while keeping most of the optimal edges. Additionally, the authors develop a reinforcement learning-based framework that achieves state-of-the-art results on both Euclidean and non-Euclidean asymmetric TSP.

This paper is about using computers to solve hard math problems. It proposes a new way to do this called Graph Edge Attention Network (GREAT). GREAT is better at solving these problems than other methods because it can look at the edges of the graph, not just the nodes. The authors tested GREAT on a problem called Traveling Salesman Problem and showed that it could make good solutions faster than other ways of doing it.
