An Entropy-Guided Monte Carlo Tree Search Approach for Generating Optimal Container Loading Layouts

In this paper, a novel approach to the container loading problem using a spatial entropy measure to bias a Monte Carlo Tree Search is proposed. The proposed algorithm generates layouts that achieve the goals of both fitting a constrained space and also having “consistency” or neatness that enables f...
