We are currently evaluating the finalist solvers and preparing the #NeurIPS2022 virtual workshop on December 7th, 13:00 UTC (note: the NeurIPS website is incorrect)! Please register at to join!.

We will now start evaluating your solvers on hidden instances. the results will be announced during the special online session at #NeurIPS2022. More information about that will follow soon!.

Aaaand it's done! The qualification phase has ended! More than 800 submission were done resulting in almost 50 teams on the leaderboard! Congratulations to the top 10 teams qualifying for the FINALS with their impressive results! :)

Sorry we couldn't release this earlier. but 'better late than never'! Note: this does not hold for your solutions: the submission deadline is strict, and so are the time windows in the problems! 😉.

So no need to use c++ anymore to improve your performance on the static variant. As a bonus, the notebook contains some plotting tools as well!.

Using the bindings, you can call the local search part separately and implement a custom genetic algorithm in Python. As an example, the notebook shows how to use this to customize HGS to use a neural network to select offspring for the local search!.

We all know that real progress happens just before the deadline! To help you with the last bits, we've released additional Python bindings and a notebook with a tutorial!

One more week to the submission deadline! Don't wait until last minute with submitting your solver!.

Also, we will host a 2-3 hour virtual workshop at #NeurIPS2022 on 6/7/8 December (t.b.d.) were we'll ask top participants to present their methods and have room for discussion! To join, you must register at Early bird pricing ends today!.
