Heuristics for the Max-cut and QUBO combinatorial optimization problems

Python interface to the MQLib, a C++ library of heuristics for Max-Cut and Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO). Also includes a hyperheuristic, which uses machine learning to predict the best-performing heuristic for a given problem instance and then runs that heuristic.

This library and the related systematic heuristic evaluation strategy are described in the paper. To cite the MQLib, please use:
