Genetic Programming guides LLMs for project scheduling

Researchers have developed a novel method to enhance the decision-making capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in dynamic multi-mode project scheduling. This approach involves extracting heuristic knowledge from rules evolved by genetic programming (GP) and then injecting this knowledge into the LLM. The study explored various knowledge transfer mechanisms, including Feature Selection, Feature Hint, Rule Reference, and Rule Follow, to guide LLM decisions. Results indicate that GP-derived guidance generally improves LLM performance, with specific methods like Feature Selection offering better token efficiency and Rule Follow achieving stronger performance at a higher token cost. This guidance also enhances decision stability and influences the features highlighted in LLM-generated rationales. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and stable project scheduling by leveraging LLMs guided by domain-specific heuristic knowledge.

    Guiding Large Language Models with Genetic Programming-Evolved Heuristic Knowledge for Dynamic Multi-Mode Project Scheduling

    In dynamic multi-mode project scheduling, activities have alternative execution modes and uncertain durations, while precedence relations and limited resources constrain their execution. Heuristic priority rules support fast online decisions, but their design requires substantial…
