Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• We propose a scalable descent algorithm for solving network design problems. • We show that the algorithm is more scalable and efficient than all existing methods that can compute the gradient of such problem exactly. • We demonstrate that the algorithm requires memory comparable to a state-of-theart heuristic that only approximates gradients. • We conduct large-scale experiments on realistic networks to demonstrate the practical applicability of the approach. • We show that accurate gradient computation is especially critical in highly congested networks.
