Hard Rules, Soft Preferences: Bridging Reasoning, Learning, and Optimization for Personalized Packing Checklist Generation

arXiv:2607. 15562v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Packing for air travel is recurring and error-prone: the checklist must be personal and context-aware, yet feasible under safety rules, item dependencies, and luggage limits.

TripScore: Aligning LLMs for Real-World Travel Planning via Expert-Calibrated Reward

TripScore is a benchmark and evaluation framework for large language models (LLMs) in travel planning, built from real user logs and calibrated with 1,468 pairwise judgments from 203 travel experts. It uses a hierarchical feasibility gate for format and commonsense checks, and a unified point-wise reward that combines soft quality and preference fulfillment. Experiments show that reinforcement learning fine‑tuning, such as GRPO, consistently outperforms other methods when evaluated with TripScore.

First Things First: Teaching LLM-Based Agents to Prioritize Must-Haves before Nice-to-Haves

The paper introduces the problem of teaching multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to prioritize must‑have requirements over nice‑to‑have ones in autonomous agent tasks. It evaluates current MLLMs on 3,649 realistic service‑scenario problems and finds widespread failures, then proposes First Things First Reinforcement Learning (FTF‑rl) to explicitly optimize reasoning over multi‑priority user requirements, achieving significant performance gains and generalizing to logical and mathematical reasoning benchmarks.

Behavior2Trip: Towards Personalized Travel Planning via User Behavior Trajectory

Behavior2Trip introduces a new task—Behavior‑Aware Travel Planning—where user preferences are inferred from past behavior trajectories rather than explicit instructions. The benchmark contains 11,400 instances from a major Chinese travel platform, each with nearly 40 recorded behaviors across 14 attributes and 5 preference dimensions. A reinforcement‑learning agent, B2T‑Agent, leverages these trajectories, external retrieval tools, and internal memory, outperforming GPT‑4.1 and other baselines on the dataset.

Behavior2Trip: Towards Personalized Travel Planning via User Behavior Trajectory

Behavior2Trip introduces a new task—Behavior‑Aware Travel Planning—where user preferences are inferred directly from past behavior trajectories rather than explicit instructions. The benchmark contains 11,400 Chinese travel‑planning instances, each with an average of 39.8 past behaviors across 14 attributes and 5 preference dimensions. A reinforcement‑learning agent, B2T‑Agent, leveraging behavior trajectories, external retrieval tools, and internal memory, outperforms strong baselines such as GPT‑4.1 on this challenging dataset.

Large Language Model for Operations Research Formulation Selection in Multi-Warehouse Inventory Allocation

arXiv:2607. 25956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-warehouse inventory allocation is typically formulated as a mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem, yet no single formulation consistently matches heterogeneous instance-level regimes induced by demand concentration, inventory imbalance, replenishment scale, service constraints, and forecast volatility.

Safety as a Constraint: Fine-Tuning a LLM Recommender to Explain Itself

The paper presents a method for fine‑tuning a large language model (LLM) recommender to generate personalized, non‑harmful explanations for its recommendations. By training two LLM‑judge reward models and using constrained GRPO, the authors achieve a significant increase in the PASS rate for all three criteria, from 0.649 to 0.956 on their own judges and from 0.677 to 0.931 on an independent judge. The fine‑tuned model maintains its original recommendation performance, demonstrating that LLM‑based recommenders can be adapted to complex tasks without loss of effectiveness.
