用大模型让遗传编程生成的调度策略更透明、更高效。

EvoSpeak: Large Language Models for Interpretable Genetic Programming-Evolved Heuristics

  • 将大语言模型与遗传编程结合,从优质解中提炼知识
  • 生成可加速收敛的初始种群,提升进化效率30%以上
  • 自动生成自然语言解释,适合需要可解释性的工业场景

遗传编程(GP)在演化复杂优化问题的树状启发式策略方面表现优异。然而,在动态和大规模场景下,最有效的启发式策略往往过于复杂,导致可解释性差、收敛慢,并限制跨任务迁移。为此,我们提出EvoSpeak框架,将遗传编程与大语言模型(LLMs)结合,以提升启发式演化在效率、透明度和适应性方面的表现。EvoSpeak从高质量的GP启发式中学习知识,进而实现:(i) 生成能加速收敛的预热种群;(ii) 将复杂的GP树翻译为简洁的自然语言解释,增强可理解性和信任度;(iii) 实现相关任务间的知识迁移与偏好感知的启发式生成。我们在动态柔性作业车间调度(DFJSS)问题上进行了大量实验,涵盖单目标与多目标设定。结果表明,EvoSpeak生成的启发式更有效,进化效率更高,并输出人类可读报告,显著提升可用性。通过融合GP的符号推理能力与LLM的解释与生成优势,EvoSpeak推动了面向真实世界优化问题的智能、透明、用户对齐的启发式发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Genetic programming (GP) has demonstrated strong effectiveness in evolving tree-structured heuristics for complex optimization problems. Yet, in dynamic and large-scale scenarios, the most effective heuristics are often highly complex, hindering interpretability, slowing convergence, and limiting transferability across tasks. To address these challenges, we present EvoSpeak, a novel framework that integrates GP with large language models (LLMs) to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and adaptability of heuristic evolution. EvoSpeak learns from high-quality GP heuristics, extracts knowledge, and leverages this knowledge to (i) generate warm-start populations that accelerate convergence, (ii) translate opaque GP trees into concise natural-language explanations that foster interpretability and trust, and (iii) enable knowledge transfer and preference-aware heuristic generation across related tasks. We verify the effectiveness of EvoSpeak through extensive experiments on dynamic flexible job shop scheduling (DFJSS), under both single- and multi-objective formulations. The results demonstrate that EvoSpeak produces more effective heuristics, improves evolutionary efficiency, and delivers human-readable reports that enhance usability. By coupling the symbolic reasoning power of GP with the interpretative and generative strengths of LLMs, EvoSpeak advances the development of intelligent, transparent, and user-aligned heuristics for real-world optimization problems.
