There was a competition for exactly this at Neurips 2021 https://www.ecole.ai/2021/ml4co-competition/ Not sure how much they improved over handcrafted heuristics, but the summary paper may give some insights https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.02433</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2203.02433/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
