报告摘要：

After the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruptive impact on operation, the aviation sector faces a pressing need for agile operational solutions that still maintain optimal performance. To meet this challenge, we have harnessed machine learning techniques to enhance both the construction and the solving of operational models, enabling the rapid finding of solutions that are still provably optimal.

In the model construction, we have redefined the challenge as a Precedence Sequencing Problem with Precedence Costs (PSPPC). Our innovative approach utilizes graph attention networks (GATs) to significantly accelerate the construction of these networks, thereby expediting the overall solution process. On the model-solving, we introduce a supervised machine learning approach by pruning the solution space of the optimization problem. Together, these advanced methods yield exact and optimal solutions more rapidly than conventional benchmarks, demonstrating considerable promise for rapid decision-making in practice.
