In this paper, we focus on the solution of a hard single machine scheduling problem by new heuristic algorithms embedding techniques from machine learning field and scheduling theory. These heuristics transform an instance of the hard problem into an instance of a simpler one solved to optimality. The obtained schedule is then transposed to the original problem. Computational experiments show that they are competitive with state-of-the-art heuristics, notably on large instances.
