The Challenge workshop starts in two weeks! In addition to talks by top competitors and announcement of CVRP & VRPTW winners, there will be keynotes by @MGC_Resende, @SperanzaGrazia, Michel Gendreu, and Renato Werneck. Register: dimacs.rutgers.edu/events/details…
I'm proud to announce that our review paper on the Gumbel-max trick and its extensions for machine learning has been accepted as a survey paper in IEEE TPAMI.🥳 The work covers sampling algorithms, gradient estimators, links to Poisson processes, and fields of applications.
Proud to share that with a team of @OrteC colleagues we scored 1st place in Phase 1 of the DIMACS challenge for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW)! @DIMACSChallenge
