Abstract. Identifying the intrinsic economic specialization of localities is a key step in the design of evidence-based regional development and smart specialization strategies. This paper proposes a machine learning approach that combines administrative, economic and socio-demographic indicators in order to discover the latent economic profile of each locality. Supervised and unsupervised techniques are compared, allowing both the classification of localities according to predefined typologies and the detection of emerging specialization patterns. The resulting models provide a data-driven foundation for policy-makers to align regional support measures with the actual potential of each territory.

Keywords: machine learning; regional development; smart specialization; localities; economic profiling

The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an extension of the classical traveling salesman
problem (TSP), and it is among the most researched combinatorial optimization problems due to its theoretical properties, complexity aspects, and real-life applications in various areas: location-routing problems, material flow design problem, distribution of medical supplies, urban waste collection management, airport selection and routing the courier airplanes, image retrieval and ranking, digital garment manufacturing, etc.
