Abstract: A computerized vehicle route optimization system is provided, including a processor configured to receive a graph of service location nodes and edges representing a travel cost metric between the service location nodes. The processor is further configured to, for each vehicle, determine a vehicle capacity, and instantiate a route data structure storing an ordered list of service location nodes, ordered by travel order. The processor is further configured to cluster the graph into node clusters such that a total of the service weighting values of all service location nodes in each node cluster is under the vehicle capacity. The processor is further configured to populate the ordered list of each route data structure with the service location nodes in a respective cluster, and optimize, via a hybrid reinforcement learning-annealing module, the ordered list of each route data structure to minimize a total travel cost metric of the plurality of vehicles.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining at least one entity specified in at least one data record. The approach further involves determining one or more data sources available from the at least one entity. The approach further involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the one or more data sources to determine information for a verification, an update, or a combination thereof of the at least one data record.

Abstract: An approach is provided for processing and/or facilitating a processing of metadata associated with one or more media items to determine one or more observed values for one or more classification parameters, wherein the one or more classification parameters include, at least in part, a number of captured media items per day, a distance of one or more capture locations from at least one home location, or a combination thereof. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a comparison of the one or more observed values against one or more references values for the one or more classification parameters. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a classification of the one or more media items as being associated with at least one multi-day event based, at least in part, on the comparison.
