SAILOR: Solver-Assisted Interactive LLM-based Optimization Recovery

SAILOR is a proof‑of‑concept system that helps language models translate natural‑language optimization problem descriptions into executable code by detecting missing numerical values. It asks users targeted follow‑up questions, prioritizing them based on uncertainty and solver estimates of impact, and updates the model before returning a solution. In tests on 1,723 benchmark instances, SAILOR achieved exact objective‑value agreement between 27.0% and 87.6% while asking an average of 1.4–5.7 questions per instance.
