Beyond the Hype: Benchmarking LLM-Evolved Heuristics for Bin Packing (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sim, K., Hart, E., & Renau, Q. (2025, April). Beyond the Hype: Benchmarking LLM-Evolved Heuristics for Bin Packing. Presented at EvoSTAR 2025, Trieste, Italy

Coupling Large Language Models (LLMs) with Evolutionary Algorithms has recently shown significant promise as a technique to design new heuristics that outperform existing methods, particularly in the field of combinatorial optimisation. An escalating... Read More about Beyond the Hype: Benchmarking LLM-Evolved Heuristics for Bin Packing.

Evaluating the Robustness of Deep-Learning Algorithm-Selection Models by Evolving Adversarial Instances (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Renau, Q., Sim, K., & Alissa, M. (2024, September). Evaluating the Robustness of Deep-Learning Algorithm-Selection Models by Evolving Adversarial Instances. Presented at 18th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving From Nature PPSN 2024, Hagenburg, Austria

Deep neural networks (DNN) are increasingly being used to perform algorithm-selection in combinatorial optimisation domains, particularly as they accommodate input representations which avoid designing and calculating features. Mounting evidence fro... Read More about Evaluating the Robustness of Deep-Learning Algorithm-Selection Models by Evolving Adversarial Instances.
