POVZETEK:

Hub covering problems represent extensions of classical covering location problems and they are widely studied in the literature, due to their theoretical and practical importance in location science. This study considers the Uncapacitated Single Allocation p-hub Maximal Covering Problem (USApHMCP) with binary coverage criterion. The USApHMCP considers a complete symmetric graph G=(N,E), where N represents a set of nodes, while E denotes a set of edges. Transportation costs per unit of flow and the flow demand for each origin-destination (O-D) pair i-j are given (i,j ϵ N). The goal of USApHMCP is to choose locations of p hubs from the set H ⊆ N, and to allocate non-hub nodes to hubs, such that the total covered flow between O-D pairs is maximized. The flow between an O-D pair is considered "covered" if the transportation costs are within the given maximum service distance (coverage radius). Each non-hub node is assigned to exactly one hub and the incoming and outgoing flows are sent only through that hub (single allocation scheme). A mixed integer formulation of the USApHMCP is presented and used within the framework of CPLEX solver on hub instances from the literature. As USApHMCP belongs to the class of NP-hard optimization problems, a solution approach based on General Variable Neighborhood Search (GVNS) heuristic is developed to tackle instances of larger problem dimensions. Two variants of GVNS heuristics are proposed, which use different procedures in the solution improvement phase: Sequential Variable Neighborhood Descent and Nested Variable Neighborhood Descent. The impact of these two procedures on overall GVNS performance is investigated through extensive computational experiments on standard hub instances from the literature. The obtained results indicate the efficiency of both GVNS variants, however, the one with Nested Variable Neighborhood Descent procedure was more successful with respect to both solution quality and running times. The results of GVNS on large-scale problem instances are also presented, showing the potential of GVNS when solving USApHMCP on realistic-size hub networks.

POVZETEK:

This presentation will provide an overview of large language models (LLMs), focusing on their architecture, capabilities, and the underlying technologies that power them. We will then explore a practical application of these models through a case study on URŠKA, a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) based communication agent. URŠKA is designed to assist university students by answering frequently asked questions about deadlines, academic policies, and more. The talk will highlight the implementation challenges, the integration of RAG with URŠKA, and its plans.
