GeoPAR: Large-Scale Multi-Agent Combinatorial Optimization with Geometry-Guided Parallel Autoregressive Learning

GeoPAR is a geometry-guided parallel autoregressive reinforcement learning framework designed for large-scale multi-agent combinatorial optimization. It introduces a projection-window sparse geometry mechanism, sparse edge-biased attention, and cache-guided conflict-aware assignment to better model local geometric structures and reduce duplicate task selections. Experiments on heterogeneous vehicle routing and multi-depot pickup-and-delivery problems demonstrate improved zero-shot generalization, fewer rollout steps, and efficient inference.

WALT: Learning World-Model-Aligned Latent Trajectories for Autonomous Driving

WALT introduces a method to align latent trajectories with pretrained driving world models, creating a compact generative trajectory space that preserves action-relevant semantics without altering the original model. The approach uses a dual-branch autoencoder to map raw waypoints into this latent space and transfers visual world knowledge into trajectory representations. Experiments on NAVSIM benchmarks show modest performance gains and a 30.5% reduction in planner FLOPs, indicating that maintaining world representations while extracting action-relevant information can improve trajectory planning efficiency.

Memory-Enhanced Neural Solvers for Routing Problems

The paper introduces MEMENTO, a memory‑enhanced neural solver that improves routing problem solutions by using online data from repeated attempts to adjust action distributions during inference. It targets NP‑hard routing tasks such as the Traveling Salesman and Capacitated Vehicle Routing problems, outperforming existing tree‑search and policy‑gradient fine‑tuning methods. MEMENTO demonstrates strong scalability and data efficiency, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on 11 of 12 evaluated tasks and enabling zero‑shot integration with diversity‑based solvers.
