Solving The Vehicle Routing Problem Based On Deep Reinforcement Learning, Ming Jiang, Tao He

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization challenge recognized as NP-hard due to its significant complexity. Building upon existing research, this paper introduces a novel end-to-end deep reinforcement learning approach based on a multi-pointer Transformer to tackle the CVRP. The proposed algorithm employs an invertible residual network in the encoder to encode input features, effectively reducing memory consumption. In the decoder, a multipointer network determines the probability distribution of solutions. To further enhance the performance of CVRP solutions, the algorithm leverages the symmetry in combinatorial optimization by implementing multi-trajectory parallel processing during both training …

From Model To Behavior: Methodological Challenges In Using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps To Represent Mental Models, Catherine Elizabeth Moore 2025 Portland State University

From Model To Behavior: Methodological Challenges In Using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps To Represent Mental Models, Catherine Elizabeth Moore

Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines the use of Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) as representations of mental models and how these representations connect to individual behavior. Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) are semi-quantitative models that encode cause-and-effect structures as directed graphs. They are frequently used to represent individuals' knowledge structures/mental models and should in theory correlate to actions and decisions of individuals; however, this correlation has yet to be explored in a systematic manner. This dissertation represents the first step in experimental research on the connection between FCMs and individual behavior. It examines two theories of how humans use mental models, one based on …

Data Compression In Additive Manufacturing: Recent Progress And Opportunities, Dongmin Ethan Kang, Wenmeng Tian

Publications

A crucial aspect of quality control for Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes is the acquisition of diverse data from the entire lifecycle of the product. AM data has grown significantly in terms of diversity and volumes, resulting in diverse data formats of increasing volumes, including time series, images, and point clouds. Large quantities of these data are essential for effective in-situ process monitoring and ex-situ non-destructive evaluation. However, this will result in large manufacturing and inspection datasets that are difficult to manage for users, which will delay the broader adoption of AM for mission critical applications. This motivates the urgent need …
