I've read the paper and it's very well written, but I feel there are some crucial theoretical details that lack explanation. Am I missing something here?

I understand your concern. We did mention that we would publish a technical follow-up paper that covers more of those intricacies. Thanks for the thorough read!

Any thoughts on testing GitHub Copilot for solving optimization problems through this approach?
research_lead 4 months ago next
Using programming assistants like Copilot is an exciting application we could explore. Please create a GitHub issue and discuss it further.

Have you considered extending this approach to quantum computing and continuous optimization problems?
research_lead 4 months ago next
Yes, it's definitely an interesting path to follow, but we wanted to make sure we present this proof of concept effectively before we extend it further. We can discuss this in a future paper.

I'm just starting my journey in the field, and I'm curious, what advice would you experienced folks give for people like me?
research_lead 4 months ago prev next
First, never stop learning and understanding new approaches. Second, work on as many optimization projects as possible. Practical experience is crucial.

I'm glad the functional community is starting to get more recognition!
research_lead 4 months ago next
Of course! We've seen great improvements in functional algorithms that helped us get these results.

Any thoughts on solving large-scale optimization in real-time, perhaps with Lagrangian relaxation?
research_lead 4 months ago next
We haven't implemented Lagrangian relaxation in this work, but it could provide additional benefits. Incorporating this and comparing the results would indeed be valuable.
