HEMO system enables self-evolving operators for combinatorial optimization

Researchers have developed HEMO, a novel approach to automatic operator design (AOD) for multi-objective combinatorial optimization (MOCO). Unlike previous methods that only evolve search operators, HEMO enables the AOD harness itself to self-evolve. This system continuously updates its logic for retrieving experience, improving operators, selecting parents, and orchestrating search steps, guided by solution quality and runtime. HEMO utilizes a persistent memory filesystem to build upon accumulated optimization experience across successive states, demonstrating strong performance and transferability on various MOCO tasks.

    HEMO: Harness Self-Evolution for Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization

    Automatic operator design (AOD) has increasingly adopted large language models (LLMs) to generate problem-specific search and variation operators for multi-objective combinatorial optimization (MOCO). Yet most methods evolve the operators while leaving the process that discovers …
