Low-Cost Labels, Reliable Choices: Rollout-Calibrated Hyper-Heuristics for Job Shop Scheduling
The article discusses a new approach to job shop scheduling using rollout-calibrated hyper-heuristics. This method focuses on optimizing label generation while ensuring the reliability of dispatching rules. The proposed selector demonstrates significant improvements in performance compared to traditional methods.
- ▪The study addresses the computational cost associated with label generation in job shop scheduling.
- ▪A gated selector is introduced that only acts when predicted improvements exceed a certain margin.
- ▪The proposed method achieves the lowest mean relative percentage deviation among learned selectors.
