The result is obtained after a long time

The result is obtained after a long time even with verbose=False. Any particular reason? Is there any way to obtain the results faster? Thanks.

@karanjot21 thanks for your question. It's been a long time since I implemented this algorithm so I don't remember details, but I will try to answer anyway.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking how to speed up the calculations. Well, I am afraid, I don't know how to increase the speed of this particular implementation as I don't have time, but you can play with the parameter c for the price of accuracy though. For more, please see the 5th cell in the provided notebook or, better, the original paper itself.

CE = CrossEntropyTSP(costs=ft53, c=10, rho=0.01, d=5, alpha=0.7, seed=13)

Also, I don't think that the verbose parameter should slow down the process at all.

Anyway, please let me know how it goes.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try that.
