Evolving Better Heuristics with AI
LLMs for Multi-objective Optimization Beyond Just Performance
This research introduces a novel approach using Large Language Models to automatically generate optimization heuristics that balance multiple objectives simultaneously.
- Creates heuristics that are not only effective but also efficient and scalable
- Applies multi-objective evolutionary algorithms to evolve LLM-generated code
- Demonstrates superior results on classic optimization problems like Bin Packing
- Produces human-interpretable heuristics that can generalize to larger problem instances
For engineering applications, this breakthrough means automated development of optimization algorithms that consider real-world constraints like computation time and code complexity, not just raw performance.
