Lineage-Aware Search Control for LLM-Based Evolutionary Factor Mining

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces LineageEvo, a method that incorporates lineage-level control into large‑language‑model (LLM) based evolutionary factor mining. It uses lineage‑conditioned LLM variation to guide semantic generation and lineage‑stratified search allocation to balance quality and diversity across evolutionary branches. Experiments on CSI 500 and S&P 500 show that LineageEvo outperforms existing approaches in predictive performance and produces a more balanced, structurally diverse factor pool.

EvoTreeNAD: Genealogy-Guided Evolution for LLM-Driven Neural Architecture Discovery

EvoTreeNAD is a genealogy‑guided evolutionary algorithm that autonomously discovers neural architectures without a predefined seed or search space. Starting from an empty root, it builds a persistent genealogy where each node represents a complete architecture; top‑percentile values from nodes and descendants steer lineage selection. The method combines an Idea Agent that proposes variants and a Code Agent that implements them, with theoretical analysis showing stationary variation regimes and empirical results demonstrating superior performance on CIFAR‑10/100 and MedMNIST‑v2 tasks.
