Thank you for your question, Prof.Nishino.
The objective function part is the result of discussions with a joint research company. Constructing the objective function in such a way that the number of violations of soft constraints is reduced is often used in combinatorial optimization problems. For example, nurse scheduling.
Thank you very much for your nice presentation. Very interesting study!
I have a question about the objective function. Why did you use that formula? Is there any theoretical background or justification?
