LLM-based heuristic design framework RAISE improves robustness to distribution shifts

Researchers have developed RAISE, a new framework for designing heuristics using Large Language Models (LLMs) that is more robust to real-world distribution shifts. Unlike previous methods that optimize for fixed training sets, RAISE incorporates a constrained adversarial instance search within its evolutionary loop. This allows it to identify difficult instances near the training distribution, ensuring consistent performance across various problem scales and distribution families. Experiments on Online Bin Packing, Online Job Shop Scheduling, and Online Vehicle Routing demonstrated RAISE's effectiveness in maintaining performance where other LLM-based methods degrade significantly.
