Weekly plan

Phase 1

Phase 1.1

• 0304(Fri)-0311(Thu):
  • begin: outline of phase 1.1
  • MVP
  • an algorithm to generate all possible paths
  • book of TSP
  • test case generator
  • generate enough test cases (~100 random cases for easy and medium)
  • framework to test and score algorithms
  • QC
• 0311(Fri)-0318(Thu):
  • optimize algorithm
  • grid search of algorithm - test cases
  • find optimized parameter, maybe hybriding different algorithms
  • test best algorithm
  • more cases (maybe mannually design)
  • prepare for submission

Phase 1.2: submission

• 0319(Sat)-0325(Fri)
  • implementing faster algorithm
• 0326(Sat)-0401(Fri)
  • QC point: hope enough work to enter Phase 2
• 0402(Sat)-0411(Mon)
• (possible extension: 0412-0414)

0411(Mon): end of Phase 1
