Learning-Augmented Algorithms: Guarantees, Construction Mechanisms, and System-Level Implications

Learning-augmented algorithms combine fallible predictions with formal performance guarantees. This survey reviews prediction interfaces, error measures, consistency–robustness trade-offs, and five construction mechanisms across online optimization, caching, learned data structures, graph problems, and mechanism design. It distinguishes theorem-level upper bounds from matched asymptotic dependence, separates formal guarantees from empirical evidence, and outlines open problems in cost-aware prediction, endogenous error, semantic predictors, and benchmarking.

Learning-Augmented Scalable Linear Assignment Problem Optimization via Neural Dual Warm-Starts

arXiv:2605. 09382v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Linear Assignment Problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization task where classical exact solvers ensure optimality but suffer from an $\mathcal{O}(N^{3})$ bottleneck, while recent neural approximations struggle with scalability and exactness.

Learning-Augmented Online Allocation under Unreliable Advice: Robustness, Exposure Fairness, and Distribution Shift

The paper introduces a learning‑augmented algorithm for online allocation that handles unreliable predictions. It addresses finite candidate sets, irreversible decisions, and exposure constraints by combining advice with a conservative fallback and a fairness correction. The authors prove consistency and robustness under bounded‑error assumptions and demonstrate experimentally that the method remains stable against adversarial advice while substantially reducing exposure disparity.
