AI discovers superior lattice reduction strategies, outperforming LLL algorithm

Researchers have developed a new method using deep reinforcement learning to discover superior strategies for the Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász (LLL) algorithm, a fundamental tool in computer science for lattice basis reduction. By framing lattice reduction as a Markov Decision Process and employing an AlphaZero-style self-play pipeline with Monte Carlo Tree Search, they trained a policy named DeltaStar. This new strategy, developed using small-dimensional lattices, requires fewer operations than the traditional LLL algorithm and demonstrates zero-shot generalization to higher dimensions and unseen moduli without retraining. AI

    Discovering Lattice Reduction Strategies via Self-Play

    arXiv:2606.15301v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Lenstra-Lenstra-Lov\'asz (LLL) algorithm is a seminal contribution to computer science used for lattice basis reduction, yet its polynomial-time outputs produce bases that are far from optimal as the dimension grows. We show t…
