COOPA: A Modular LLM Agent Architecture for Operations Research Problems

arXiv cs.LG · 2026-06-29 Cached

This paper introduces COOPA, a modular LLM agent architecture for operations research problems that combines iterative confidence-based modeling, element-level provenance, and multi-solver routing. Evaluated across eight LLM backbones and four baselines, COOPA achieves the best macro-average accuracy on six backbones and improves over the strongest baseline by up to 6.7 percentage points.

Beyond Objective Equivalence: Constraint Injection for LLM-Based Optimization Modeling on Vehicle Routing Problems

arXiv cs.AI · 2026-06-04 Cached

Researchers from Beihang University and Baidu propose 'constraint injection,' a dual verification method for LLM-based optimization modeling that detects spurious or omitted constraints beyond objective equivalence. They develop VRPCoder, an 8B model for translating natural-language vehicle routing problems into Gurobi scripts, achieving 93% average Pass@1 and outperforming Claude Sonnet and prior OR-LLMs by large margins.

Models Can Model, But Can't Bind: Structured Grounding in Text-to-Optimization

arXiv cs.LG · 2026-05-22 Cached

This paper introduces Text2Opt-Bench, a scalable benchmark for text-to-optimization, and identifies that LLMs struggle with 'binding' (grounding problem data) rather than 'modeling' (choosing optimization structure). The authors propose BIND, a simple inference-time method that externalizes numeric data, significantly improving accuracy across models.
