Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We provide a review and synthesis of polyhedral approaches to machine scheduling problems. The choice of decision variables is the prime determinant of various formulations for such problems. Constraints, such as facet inducing inequalities for corresponding polyhedra, are often needed, in addition to those just required for the validity of the initial formulation, in order to obtain useful lower bounds and structural insights. We review formulations based on time–indexed variables; on linear ordering, start time and completion time variables; on assignment and positional date variables; and on traveling salesman variables. We point out relationship between various models, and provide a number of new results, as well as simplified new proofs of known results. In particular, we emphasize the important role that supermodular polyhedra and greedy algorithms play in many formulations and we analyze the strength of the lower and upper bounds obtained from different formulations and relaxations. We discuss separation algorithms for several classes of inequalities, and their potential applicability in generating cutting planes for the practical solution of such scheduling problems. We also review some recent results on approximation algorithms based on some of these formulations.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
