New PIAC Framework Enhances LLM Generalization for Optimization Problems

Researchers have developed a new framework called Potential-aware Instance and Algorithm Co-evolution (PIAC) to improve the generalization capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in solving complex combinatorial optimization problems. PIAC addresses limitations in existing methods by introducing a novel 'potential gain' metric that removes the need for reference solutions and by using LLMs to generate diverse instance mutators. Evaluations on the Traveling Salesman Problem and Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem show PIAC consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, with a notable 19.76% improvement for TSP Greedy Constructive portfolios.
