Improving Constraint Models with LLM Agents
The runtime of Constraint Programming (CP) solvers is highly sensitive to modeling choices, such as symmetry breaking, implied constraints, global constraints, constraint reformulation, and variable representation. Improving these constraint models has traditionally required human expertise, and existing automated reformulation systems are restricted to a predefined library of hand-crafted transformation rules. We introduce an agentic framework that instead reformulates a constraint model from an open-ended space and establishes correctness empirically rather than by construction: a Large Language Model (LLM) agent, given a model and three training instances, proposes alternative formulat...
