In the Hungarian Method, the cost matrix represents the costs associated with assigning tasks to agents. Each element in the matrix corresponds to the cost of assigning a particular task (represented by a row) to a specific agent (represented by a column). The goal is to find the assignment of tasks to agents that minimizes the total cost (or maximizes the total profit, in the case of a profit matrix). The method optimizes this assignment by working through the cost matrix.
