# 🤠GreedRL
## Overview
- 🤠GreedRL is a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based solver that can solve various types of problems, such as TSP, VRPs (CVRP, VRPTW, VRPPD, etc), Order Batching Problem, Knapsack Problem, etc.
- 🤠GreedRL achieves very high performance by running on GPU while generating high quality solutions.
**1200 times faster** than [Google OR-Tools](https://developers.google.com/optimization) for large-scale (>=1000 nodes) CVRP, and the solution quality is improved by **about 3%**.
## 🏆Award
- Entering the finalists of [INFORMS 2021 Franz Edelman Award](https://www.informs.org/Resource-Center/Video-Library/Edelman-Competition-Videos/2021-Edelman-Competition-Videos/2021-Edelman-Finalist-Alibaba)
- Obtain [The Second Class Prize of Scientific and Technological Progress Award](https://www.ccf.org.cn/Awards/Awards/2022-11-08/776110.shtml).
## Editions
We have delivered the following two editions of 🤠GreedRL for users.
- **The Community Edition** is open source and available to [download](https://huggingface.co/Cainiao-AI/GreedRL).
- **The Enterprise Edition** has a higher performance implementation than **The Community Edition** (about 50 times faster), especially when solving larg-scale problems. For more informations, please contact <a href="mailto:jiangwen.wjw@alibaba-inc.com">us</a>.

### Real-world scenario problems
In addition to being able to solve standard problems, 🤠GreedRL can also model and solve real-world scenario problems, like *Instant Delivery Service* and *Order Batching Problem*.
#### Instant Delivery Service
> Instant Delivery Service are widespread in order dispatching systems of courier delivery services ([Ele.me](https://www.ele.me/), [Meituan](https://waimai.meituan.com/), [UUPaotui](https://www.uupt.com/index.htm), etc).
> Orders are generated in real-time. A number of vehicles are scheduled to serve orders from pickup locations to delivery locations while respecting vehicle capacity. The objective consists in minimizing both total delivery time and overtime penalty.

#### Order Batching Problem
> The Order Batching Problem is an optimization problem which occurs in a warehouse consists of designing a set of picking batches, such that each customer order (composed by a list of items) is assigned to exactly one batch,
> and each batch has to be collected by a single picker. The objective consists in minimizing both total batching cost (a weighted sum of used numbers of areas, roadways and items) and penalty for exceeding loading limits of pickers.

# Getting started
## Description
We are delighted to release 🤠GreedRL Community Edition, as well as example of training and testing scripts for the standard Capacitated VRP (CVRP), you can download it and get started.
## Test environment
🤠GreedRL Community Edition has been tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with GCC compiler v7.5.0 and CUDA version 11.4, and a [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html#system-requirements) distribution with Python 3.8. We recommend using a similar configuration to avoid any possiblem compilation issue.
## Installation
First, clone the repository.
```aidl
$ git clone https://huggingface.co/Cainiao-AI/GreedRL
```
Then, create and activate a python environment using conda, and install required packages.
```aidl
$ conda create -n python38 python==3.8
$ source activate python38
$ pip install -r requirements.txt --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113
```
Finally, compile and add the resulting library `greedrl` to the `PYTHONPATH`
```aidl
$ python setup.py build
$ export PYTHONPATH={your_current_path}/build/lib.linux-x86_64-cpython-38/:$PYTHONPATH
```
## CVRP Training
1. Training data
We use generated data for the training phase, the customers and depot locations are randomly generated in the unit square [0,1] X [0,1]. For CVRP, we assume that the demand of each node is a discrete number in {1,...,9}, chosen uniformly at random, and each vehicle has a default capacity of 50.
2. Start training
```python
$ cd examples/cvrp
$ python train.py --model_filename cvrp_100.pt --problem_size 100
```
## CVRP Testing
After training process, you'll get a trained model, like `cvrp_100.pt`, that you can use for test.
```python
$ cd examples/cvrp
$ python solve.py --device cpu --model_name cvrp_100.pt --problem_size 100
```
# Support
We look forward you to downloading it, using it, and opening discussion if you encounter any problems or have ideas on building an even better experience.
