LLaMEA-SAGE: Guiding Automated Algorithm Design with Structural Feedback from Explainable AI
Niki van Stein, Anna V. Kononova, Lars Kotthoff +1
Large language models have enabled automated algorithm design (AAD) by generating optimization algorithms directly from natural-language prompts. While evolutionary frameworks such…
LLM Driven Design of Continuous Optimization Problems with Controllable High-level Properties
Urban Skvorc, Niki van Stein, Moritz Seiler +3
Benchmarking in continuous black-box optimisation is hindered by the limited structural diversity of existing test suites such as BBOB. We explore whether large language models emb…
From Performance to Understanding: A Vision for Explainable Automated Algorithm Design
Niki van Stein, Anna V. Kononova, Thomas Bäck
Automated algorithm design is entering a new phase: Large Language Models can now generate full optimisation (meta)heuristics, explore vast design spaces and adapt through iterativ…
Why Are You Wrong? Counterfactual Explanations for Language Grounding with 3D Objects
Tobias Preintner, Weixuan Yuan, Qi Huang +4
Combining natural language and geometric shapes is an emerging research area with multiple applications in robotics and language-assisted design. A crucial task in this domain is o…
Reasoning Capabilities of Large Language Models on Dynamic Tasks
Annie Wong, Thomas Bäck, Aske Plaat +2
Large language models excel on static benchmarks, but their ability as self-learning agents in dynamic environments remains unclear. We evaluate three prompting strategies: self-re…
Agentic Large Language Models, a survey
Aske Plaat, Max van Duijn, Niki van Stein +3
Background: There is great interest in agentic LLMs, large language models that act as agents. Objectives: We review the growing body of work in this area and provide a research ag…
