Recently, there is a growing attention on applying deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to solve the 3-D bin packing problem (3-D BPP). However, due to the relatively less informative yet computationally heavy encoder, and considerably large action space inherent to the 3-D BPP, existing DRL methods ar...
