RL Exercise: Using LLM to guide crossover heuristics for bin packing
cephaloform · x · 2026-08-25
The author shares a reinforcement learning exercise codenamed "Bubbles".
- Task: Solving the Bin Packing Problem.
- Method: Inspired by FunSearch, they created a script that uses an LLM to determine the crossover strategy in the heuristic algorithm, effectively letting the LLM guide the algorithm on which operations to perform under which conditions.
