MViewRouter: Internalizing Geometric Equivariance via Multi-view Alternating Attention for Combinatorial Routing

arXiv:2606.01084v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Combinatorial routing problems such as the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) are fundamental NP-hard problems with broad real-world applications. While recent deep reinforcement learning methods have shown promising performance, they typically handle geometric symmetries only through data augmentation, resulting in inconsistent decisions and limited generalization. To address this issue, we propose MViewRouter, a multi-view framework that internalizes geometric equivariance as a structural inducti
