MILP-Evo: Closed-Loop Fully Automatic Design of MILP Solvers

arXiv:2607. 18252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning methods have shown that data-driven policies can accelerate mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solvers, but many such approaches remain difficult to inspect, adapt, and deploy because the learned policy is represented as an external predictor or other opaque model.

Behavior and Representation in Open-Weight Large Language Models for Combinatorial Optimization: From Feature Extraction to Algorithm Selection

arXiv:2512. 13374v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) open new perspectives for automation in optimization, yet little is known about whether their internal representations capture problem structure or algorithmic behavior.

Self-Evolving Recommendation System: End-To-End Autonomous Model Optimization With LLM Agents

arXiv:2602. 10226v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Optimizing large-scale machine learning systems, such as recommendation models for global video platforms, requires navigating a massive hyperparameter search space and, more critically, designing sophisticated optimizers, architectures, and reward functions to capture nuanced user behaviors.

IR2Solve: Structured Intermediate Representations for Cost-Efficient Optimization Autoformulation

arXiv:2608. 02641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural-language optimization problems into solver-ready formulations, but direct code generation is brittle: schema, indexing, and semantic errors can cause compilation failures, infeasible models, or incorrect objectives, while iterative repair, search, and multi-agent workflows increase inference cost.

Towards Automated Kernel Generation in the Era of LLMs

arXiv:2601. 15727v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The performance of modern AI systems is fundamentally constrained by the quality of their underlying GPU kernels, which translate high-level algorithmic semantics into low-level hardware operations.
