A Study of Learning Search Approximation in Mixed Integer Branch and Bound: Node Selection in SCIP

In line with the growing trend of using machine learning to help solve combinatorial optimisation problems, one promising idea is to improve node selection within a mixed integer programming (MIP) branch-and-bound tree by using a learned policy. Previous work using imitation learning indicates the f...
