Abstract
Task/resources are randomly assigned a number of times and a score for each solution of the random assignment is calculated. Using machine learning and artificial intelligence, a subset of the solutions is selected. Assignment of task/resource within the subset may be randomly changed, e.g., a task/resource assignment between two entities, a task/resource within the selected subset may be replaced with another task/resource (without swapping), etc. The additional solutions form a super solution with the selected subset and the score associated with the additional solutions are calculated. The process of selection of assignments, random changes to the assignment and calculating the scores associated with the new solutions is repeated a number of times until a certain condition is met, e.g., a number of iterations, time out, improvement between two iterations is less than a certain threshold, etc. Once the certain condition is satisfied, a solution is selected.
