Biographie

Quentin Cappart est professeur agrégé au Département de génie informatique et logiciel de Polytechnique Montréal et un membre affilié de Mila. Il a obtenu successivement un baccalauréat en ingénierie (2012), une M. Sc. en génie informatique (2014), une M. Sc. en gestion (2018) et un doctorat (2017) à l'Université catholique de Louvain (Belgique). Après son doctorat, il s’est joint à Polytechnique Montréal et au Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur les réseaux d’entreprise, la logistique et le transport (CIRRELT) en tant que chercheur postdoctoral de 2018 à 2020. Pendant ces deux années, il a également été stagiaire en recherche chez ElementAI. Il dirige le groupe de recherche CORAIL, qu'il a cofondé avec le professeur Louis-Martin Rousseau. Ses recherches portent principalement sur l'intégration de l'apprentissage automatique à des procédures de recherche pour résoudre des problèmes combinatoires.

With the rapid developments in communication systems, and considering their dynamic nature, all-optical networks are becoming increasingly c… (voir plus)omplex. This study proposes a novel method based on deep reinforcement learning for the routing and wavelength assignment problem in all-optical wavelength-decision-multiplexing networks. We consider dynamic incoming requests, in which their arrival and holding times are not known in advance. The objective is to devise a strategy that minimizes the number of rejected packages due to the lack of resources in the long term. We use graph neural networks to capture crucial latent information from the graph-structured input to develop the optimal strategy. The proposed deep reinforcement learning algorithm selects a route and a wavelength simultaneously for each incoming traffic connection as they arrive. The results demonstrate that the learned agent outperforms the methods used in practice and can be generalized on network topologies that did not participate in training.

Combinatorial optimization is a well-established area in operations research and computer science. Until recently, its methods have focused … (voir plus)on solving problem instances in isolation, ignoring that they often stem from related data distributions in practice. However, recent years have seen a surge of interest in using machine learning as a new approach for solving combinatorial problems, either directly as solvers or by enhancing exact solvers. Based on this context, the ML4CO aims at improving state-of-the-art combinatorial optimization solvers by replacing key heuristic components. The competition featured three challenging tasks: finding the best feasible solution, producing the tightest optimality certificate, and giving an appropriate solver configuration. Three realistic datasets were considered: balanced item placement, workload apportionment, and maritime inventory routing. This last dataset was kept anonymous for the contestants.
