Traditional expert-designed branching rules in branch-and-bound(B&B) are static, often failing to adapt to diverse and evolving problem instances. Crafting these rules is labor-intensive, and may not scale well with complex *** the frequent need to solve varied combinatorial optimization problems, leveraging statistical learning to auto-tune B&B algorithms for specific problem classes becomes attractive. This paper proposes a graph pointer network model to learn the branch rules. Graph features, global features and historical features are designated to represent the solver state. The graph neural network processes graph features, while the pointer mechanism assimilates the global and historical features to finally determine the variable on which to branch. The model is trained to imitate the expert strong branching rule by a tailored top-k Kullback-Leibler divergence loss function. Experiments on a series of benchmark problems demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the widely used expert-designed branching rules. It also outperforms state-of-the-art machine-learning-based branch-and-bound methods in terms of solving speed and search tree size on all the test instances. In addition, the model can generalize to unseen instances and scale to larger instances.

Reducing dropout rates is crucial for enhancing human capital and education standards. Existing methods, such as Random Forest with Chi-Square and SMOTE-ENN, effectively addressed class imbalance and improved prediction accuracy for dropout data. However, there is still a research gap in achieving optimal model performance. This study addresses the gap by incorporating hyperparameter tuning alongside ChiSquare for feature selection and SMOTE-ENN for handling class imbalance. The dataset was segmented into training and evaluation subsets through the implementation of 10 -fold cross-validation. The testing was conducted with seven variations, namely building and implementing a Random Forest model using the default parameters from the Weka tool and applying six different hyperparameter tuning techniques. The results showed that Hyperband, along with other techniques like TPE, RandomSearch, and BO-TPE, led to substantial improvements in model accuracy, precision, and F-measure, and achieved perfect AUC scores. However, BO-GP and Nevergrad did not improve model performance. These findings suggest that the combination of SMOTE-ENN, Chi-Square, and hyperparameter tuning can enhance the effectiveness of dropout prediction models, with potentially positive implications for early intervention strategies in educational institutions.
