基于学习的方法在解决NP难问题上展现出日益增长的潜力,但其进展受限于标注数据生成成本高昂。在布尔可满足性(SAT)领域,标准流程依赖求解器闭环标注,随问题规模增大而急剧恶化,限制了可用监督信号量。这一瓶颈阻碍了利用机器学习捕捉复杂组合问题结构的目标。本文提出一种目标感知、无需求解器的数据生成框架,通过构造保证正确标签的SAT与UNSAT实例,彻底消除昂贵求解器调用需求。该方法使生成数据与目标基准的结构特性对齐,提升下游学习有效性。进一步提出一种线性规划感知的图神经网络(LPGNN),将约束违规残差引入消息传递机制,使模型能有效利用底层优化结构。两项贡献共同支撑了一种以数据为中心的学习范式,其中可扩展、任务对齐的数据生成与模型设计同等重要。实验表明,该方法在数据生成上实现数量级加速,证明对齐基准的合成数据可有效增强基于GNN的SAT预测的求解器标注数据集。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Learning-based approaches to NP-hard problems have shown increasing promise, but their progress is fundamentally constrained by the high cost of generating labeled training data. In domains such as Boolean satisfiability (SAT), standard pipelines rely on solver-in-the-loop labeling, which scales poorly with problem size and limits the amount of usable supervision. This bottleneck hinders the broader goal of leveraging machine learning to capture structure in hard combinatorial problems. In this work, we propose a target-aware, solver-free data generation framework for SAT that produces correctly labeled SAT and UNSAT instances by construction, eliminating the need for expensive solver calls. Our method aligns generated instances with the structural properties of a target benchmark, making synthetic data effective for downstream learning. We further develop a linear-programming-aware graph neural network (LPGNN) architecture that incorporates constraint-violation residuals into message passing, enabling the model to exploit underlying optimization structure. Together, these contributions support a data-centric paradigm for learning on NP-hard problems, where scalable, task-aligned data generation is as critical as model design. Our approach yields orders-of-magnitude speedups in data generation, demonstrating that benchmark-aligned synthetic data can effectively augment solver-labeled datasets for GNN-based SAT prediction.
