Machine-learning and combinatorial optimization framework for managing tasks of a dynamic system with limited resources

Abstract:

Techniques are described for managing tasks of a dynamic system with limited resources using a machine-learning and combinatorial optimization framework. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is provided that comprises employing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, one or more first machine learning models to determine a total demand for tasks of a dynamic system within a defined time frame based on state information regarding a current state of the dynamic system, wherein the state information comprises task information regarding currently pending tasks of the tasks. The method further comprises, employing, by the system, one or more second machine learning models to determine turnaround times for completing the tasks based on the state information, and determining, by the system, a prioritization order for performing the currently pending tasks based on the total demand and the turnaround times.
