Data mining based framework to assess solution quality for the rectangular 2D strip-packing problem

作者:

Highlights:

• Data mining framework capable of assessing the quality of heuristic solutions.

• Regression model fitted with bottom-left-fill solutions and 19 predictors.

• 30,000 problem instances were generated to represent different 2D-SPP variations.

• Random forest is the data mining technique with the best level of generalisation.

• Data mining framework is consistent and can be applied for other problems.
