A machine learning-based approach is proposed to efficiently optimize parameter combinations in large-scale problems. The method converts raw parameters into binary variables using factorization machines with annealing, which can solve quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems. The paper investigates the impact of different binary labeling methods on convergence speed and accuracy, highlighting the potential for local minimum solutions. A new Gray labeling approach is proposed, which correlates Hamming distance in binary labels with traveling distance, and evaluated through numerical simulation of the traveling salesman problem. Results show improved performance over natural labeling, with reduced local minima percentages and shorter traveling distances.

Machine learning can help find the best combination of parameters for big problems. The idea is to turn the parameters into simple variables that actual machines understand. The paper looks at how different ways of labeling these binary variables affect how quickly and accurately the algorithm finds the right answer. It also proposes a new way to label, called Gray labeling, which helps the algorithm avoid getting stuck in local minimum solutions. By testing this approach on the traveling salesman problem, the researchers found that it performed better than other methods.
