arXiv:2601. 23075v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy Reinforcement Learning (RL) remains a dominant paradigm for continuous control, yet standard implementations rely on Gaussian actors and relatively shallow MLP policies, often leading to brittle optimization when gradients are noisy, and policy updates must be conservative.
AutoOR: Scalably Post-training LLMs to Autoformalize Operations Research Problems
AutoOR is a scalable synthetic data generation and reinforcement learning pipeline that trains large language models to autoformalize operations research problems expressed in natural language across linear, mixed‑integer, and non‑linear categories. By generating verified training data from standard optimization forms and using solver execution feedback as a reward signal, AutoOR enables post‑training of an 8B model to achieve state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results on six established OR benchmarks, matching significantly larger frontier models. For non‑linear problems involving physical dynamics, a curriculum RL strategy bootstraps from limited initial data, making this class tractable for post‑training.
