Title
A Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for the Talent Scheduling Problem.
Abstract
The talent scheduling problem is a simplified version of the real-world film shooting problem, which aims to determine a shooting sequence so as to minimize the total cost of the actors involved. We devise a branch-and-bound algorithm to solve the problem. A novel lower bound function is employed to help eliminate the non-promising search nodes. Extensive experiments over the benchmark instances suggest that our branch-and-bound algorithm performs better than the currently best exact algorithm for the talent scheduling problem.
