Abstract
- In recent years, continuous metaheuristics have been a trend in solving binary-based combinatorial problems due to their good results. However, to use this type of metaheuristics, it is necessary to adapt them to work in binary environments, and in general, this adaptation is not trivial. The method proposed in this work evaluates the use of reinforcement learning techniques in the binarization process. Specifically, the backward Q-learning technique is explored to choose binarization schemes intelligently. This allows any continuous metaheuristic to be adapted to binary environments. The illustrated results are competitive, thus providing a novel option to address different complex problems in the industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
