If you had a traveling salesman problem with 1000 points, what's the first thing you would do to solve it?
greedy

I would solve it.

I wrote an ant colony optimization simulation for """solving""" this problem for my java class last year.

How close did it get to the optimal solution?
>>7663110
visiting wiki and looking up solving algorithms

That's awful for TSP tho senpai.
some sort of heuristic
>>7663110
You should probably research known approximation algorithms for this problem.
>>7663110
deep recurrent neural network with genetic step function
try generating lots of random walks and hope that statistics of the graph are nice enough

You don't solve it you approximate it. This can literally range from greedy as suggested before to a whole range of more complex shit. Basically if you need to show you've done something do a greedy and then make it better with 2-opt.

I don't know what the optimal solution was, but the solutions I got seemed pretty good.
>>7664139
still the first thing I would try
if only to see if my boilerplate works
