Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The pallet pooling system provides standard transportation packaging in a shared manner, which improves the logistics efficiency and resource utilization. It involves three key and interrelated decisions on the location of operation centers, inventory management and vehicle routing in this system, which significantly influence the overall efficiency of the system. To address this integrated location-inventory-routing problem, we develop a comprehensive mixed-integer linear programming model that incorporates the system's characteristics of multi-scale operation center location, multi-period inventory management with scheduling between operation centers, and vehicle route planning incorporating simultaneous delivery and pickup. Owing to the computational complexity, we propose a hybrid heuristic algorithm that combines genetic operators, K-Medoids clustering, and ant colony optimization to obtain high-quality solutions efficiently. Numerical experiments using benchmark datasets demonstrate both the feasibility of the developed model and the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
