Persistent Recursive Worlds Enable Autonomous Software Evolution
Beichen Huang, Zhenyu Liang, Bowen Zheng +1
Complex software systems develop over timescales that exceed the lifespan of any individual coding agent. Most agentic software systems preserve continuity through persistent sessi…
A Systematic Survey on Large Language Models for Evolutionary Optimization: From Modeling to Solving
Yisong Zhang, Ran Cheng, Guoxing Yi +1
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated with evolutionary computation to support optimization tasks. This survey primarily focuses on evolutionary optimization, i.…
Beyond Speedups: Hardware-Aware Evaluation of Evolutionary Algorithms on GPUs
Xinmeng Yu, Tao Jiang, Ran Cheng +2
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are increasingly executed on graphics processing units (GPUs) to exploit population-level parallelism. This shift changes the resource model under whi…
SLAT: Segment-Level Adaptive Trimming for Efficient CoT Reasoning
Jian Yao, Xiongcai Luo, Ran Cheng +1
Recent advances in Large Reasoning Models have significantly improved chain-of-thought (CoT) capabilities via reinforcement learning (RL). However, generated reasoning chains frequ…
Learning to Evolve for Optimization via Stability-Inducing Neural Unrolling
Jiaxin Gao, Yaohua Liu, Ran Cheng +1
Evolutionary algorithms serve as a powerful paradigm for tackling optimization challenges, yet their reliance on manually engineered heuristics inherently limits their adaptability…
