让大模型更懂运筹优化,自动建模还带可解释性。
COOPA: A Modular LLM Agent Architecture for Operations Research Problems

- 分步生成多个模型方案,用可信度筛选最优解
- 在8个模型上平均准确率提升6.7%,超越最强基线
- 适合需要可解释决策的工业界运筹场景
运筹学(OR)为高风险决策提供严谨框架,但有效建模需深厚领域知识、数学抽象能力及求解器经验。现有基于大模型的系统虽部分自动化该流程,仍受限于复杂问题准确率低、输出不透明、求解器支持窄等问题。我们提出COOPA(协同运筹智能体),一种模块化大模型智能体架构,实现可解释且可扩展的运筹决策支持。其包含三个组件:基于置信度的迭代建模,生成多个候选模型,跨建模维度自评估并采用最大最小置信度准则选择;元素级溯源与置信度解释,将变量、参数、约束和目标关联到原始文本引用,提供人工验证的审计路径;多求解器路由,将不同类型的运筹问题分派至专用优化代理。在三个运筹基准、八个大模型骨干和四个基线的相同条件下,COOPA在八种骨干中的六种取得最高宏观平均准确率,相比最强基线最高提升6.7个百分点。组内消融分析揭示了迭代置信度建模的贡献,额外分析与案例研究验证了源文追溯与多求解器调度的价值。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Operations Research (OR) provides a rigorous framework for high-stakes decision-making, but effective OR modeling requires substantial domain knowledge, mathematical abstraction, and solver expertise. Recent LLM-based systems automate parts of this pipeline, yet remain limited by low accuracy on complex problems, opaque outputs, and narrow solver support. We propose COOPA (COoperative OPerations Agent), a modular LLM-agent architecture for interpretable and scalable OR decision support. It combines three components: iterative confidence-based modeling, which generates multiple candidate formulations, self-evaluates them across modeling dimensions, and selects one using a max-min confidence criterion; element-level provenance and confidence explanations, which link variables, parameters, constraints, and objectives to quoted source text and provide an audit trail for human verification; and multi-solver routing to specialized optimizer agents for different OR problem classes. Across three OR benchmarks, eight LLM backbones, and four baselines under identical conditions, COOPA achieves the best macro-average accuracy on six of eight backbones and improves over the strongest baseline by up to 6.7 percentage points. A within-system ablation isolates the contribution of iterative confidence-based modeling, while additional analyses and case studies illustrate the value of source traceability and multi-solver dispatch.
