### Dataset Description
#### MIPLIB
Heterogeneous dataset from [MIPLIB 2017](https://miplib.zib.de/), a well-established benchmark for evaluating MILP solvers. The dataset includes a diverse set of particularly challenging mixed-integer programming (MIP) instances, each known for its computational difficulty.
#### Set Covering
This dataset consists of instances of the classic Set Covering Problem, which can be found [here](https://github.com/ds4dm/learn2branch/tree/master). Each instance requires finding the minimum number of sets that cover all elements in a universe. The problem is formulated as a MIP problem.
#### Maximum Independent Set
This dataset addresses the Maximum Independent Set Problem, which can be found [here](https://github.com/ds4dm/learn2branch/tree/master). Each instance is modeled as a MIP, with the objective of maximizing the size of the independent set.
#### NN Verification
This “Neural Network Verification” dataset is to verify whether a neural network is robust to input perturbations can be posed as a MIP. The MIP formulation is described in the paper [On the Effectiveness of Interval Bound Propagation for Training Verifiably Robust Models (Gowal et al., 2018)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.12715). Each input on which to verify the network gives rise to a different MIP.
#### Load Balancing
This dataset is from [NeurIPS 2021 Competition](https://github.com/ds4dm/ml4co-competition). This problem deals with apportioning workloads. The apportionment is required to be robust to any worker’s failure. Each instance problem is modeled as a MILP, using a bin-packing with an apportionment formulation.
### Dataset Spliting
Each dataset was split into a training set $D_{\text{train}}$ and a testing set $D_{\text{test}}$, following an approximate 80-20 split. Moreover, we split the dataset by time and "optimality", which means according to the proportion of optimality for each parameter is similar in training and testing sets. This ensures a balanced representation of both temporal variations and the highest levels of parameter efficiency in our data partitions.
