摘要：
Practimum-Optimum（P-O）算法是针对大规模制造调度等复杂现实业务问题开发自动优化产品的一次范式转变。它利用深厚的业务领域专业知识，构建了一组在如何生成高质量调度方案方面拥有不同“流派思路”的虚拟人类专家（Virtual Human Expert, VHE）智能体。通过将这些专家思路转化为算法，P-O能以远快于人类调度员的速度生成大量有效调度方案。起初，这些方案也可能是远离高质量方案的局部最优峰值。\n通过将这些调度方案输入强化机器学习算法（RL），P-O可学习每个VHE生成的调度方案的优缺点，并据此推导出需求集中的奖惩变化，这些变化会修改作业在前一轮迭代中获得的时间与资源分配的相对优先级，而前一轮迭代的分配导致了调度方案的当前状态。这些变化会促使VHE算法的核心逻辑在后续迭代中探索调度方案空间中差异极大的区域，并有可能找到质量更高的调度方案。\n用爬山类比的话，这可以被视为一次大跳跃，从某个给定的局部峰值转移到一个遥远的、有前景的起点，该起点搭载了嵌入需求集中的知识以供后续迭代使用。这与大多数当代算法存在根本差异，后者会将大量时间耗费在其所访问的局部峰值邻域内的局部微小步长上。这一差异使得复杂组织中的全自动制造调度在规模与性能上实现突破。P-O算法是Plataine Scheduler的核心，该工具可一键为现实中的复杂制造运营常规调度30000至50000项任务。
英文摘要：
The Practimum-Optimum (P-O) algorithm represents a paradigm shift in developing automatic optimization products for complex real-life business problems such as large-scale manufacturing scheduling. It leverages deep business domain expertise to create a group of virtual human expert (VHE) agents with different "schools of thought" on how to create high-quality schedules. By computerizing them into algorithms, P-O generates many valid schedules at far higher speeds than human schedulers are capable of. Initially, these schedules can also be local optimum peaks far away from high-quality schedules. By submitting these schedules to a reinforced machine learning algorithm (RL), P-O learns the weaknesses and strengths of each VHE schedule, and accordingly derives reward and punishment changes in the Demand Set that will modify the relative priorities for time and resource allocation that jobs received in the prior iteration that led to the current state of the schedule. These cause the core logic of the VHE algorithms to explore, in the subsequent iteration, substantially different parts of the schedules universe and potentially find higher-quality schedules. Using the hill climbing analogy, this may be viewed as a big jump, shifting from a given local peak to a faraway promising start point equipped with knowledge embedded in the demand set for future iterations. This is a fundamental difference from most contemporary algorithms, which spend considerable time on local micro-steps restricted to the neighbourhoods of local peaks they visit. This difference enables a breakthrough in scale and performance for fully automatic manufacturing scheduling in complex organizations. The P-O algorithm is at the heart of Plataine Scheduler that, in one click, routinely schedules 30,000-50,000 tasks for real-life complex manufacturing operations.
