Learned optimizer schedules show distinct generalization patterns for MAX-CUT

Researchers have investigated the impact of state coupling in learned optimizer schedules for solving the MAX-CUT problem. Their study found that a state-blind schedule demonstrated strong generalization to larger instances than those used during training. A state-adaptive bilinear schedule also showed out-of-distribution generalization, outperforming its untrained baseline. In contrast, an additive ablation model with identical inputs and output heads performed worse than its baseline on out-of-distribution tasks, even without regularization. AI

IMPACT This research could inform the development of more robust and generalizable optimization algorithms for complex computational problems.

    Multiplicative vs. Additive State Coupling in Learned Optimizer Schedules

    arXiv:2610.32801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We learn schedules for a continuous penalty relaxation of MAX-CUT by backpropagating through an unrolled classical solver. A state-blind schedule generalizes to instances substantially larger than those used for training. A state-…
