The paper proposes a new class of automated graph neural networks (GNNs) for solving NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, specifically mixed integer linear programming and quadratic unconstrained binary optimization. The authors develop AutoGNP, a novel approach that uses graph neural architecture search algorithms to automatically design the best GNNs for a given problem. This is achieved through the utilization of two-hop operators in the architecture search space, simulated annealing, and a strict early stopping policy. The proposed model outperforms existing methods on benchmark combinatorial problems.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper introduces a new way to solve hard math problems using artificial intelligence. They create a special type of neural network that can find the best solution for difficult optimization tasks. This is helpful because current approaches require a lot of manual work and expertise in the field. The authors use a process called architecture search to automatically design the best neural network for each problem. They also use techniques like simulated annealing to avoid getting stuck with poor solutions. The results show that their method performs better than other methods on common optimization problems.
