RouteRepair: Instance-Level Failure Diagnosis and Targeted Repair in LLM-Based Automated Heuristic Design for Routing Optimization

RouteRepair is a method that diagnoses specific weaknesses in large language model (LLM)-generated routing heuristics by evaluating performance at the instance level and then applies targeted modifications to the heuristic components that are failing, while preserving components that already perform well. It combines routing evidence, solver behavior, and program context to set bounded repair objectives and validates each change through matched parent-child evaluation of failure recovery and collateral degradation. Experiments on the traveling salesman problem (TSP) and capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) show significant reductions in optimality gaps and route costs, demonstrating that failure-aware, evidence-constrained refinement can improve routing heuristics on difficult instances while maintaining performance on easier cases.

COMPASS: Ordered Clustered Routing at 100K Scale

The paper introduces COMPASS, an algorithm for the Ordered Clustered Traveling Salesman Problem (OCTSP) that combines search with learning-accelerated routing through parallel sub-solvers. COMPASS improves solutions continuously with more compute, exploits clustered structure to achieve exact solutions in time exponential in cluster size, and outperforms existing methods. It works with general distance matrices, not just coordinate inputs, and scales to 100,000 synthetic nodes and 28,500 real e-commerce nodes, representing the largest reported routing solution over asymmetric distances.
