New framework uses AI teachers to evolve optimization heuristics

Researchers have developed a new evolutionary framework for automatically designing heuristic programs used in combinatorial optimization. This framework leverages learned optimization policies as "teachers" to provide behavioral feedback during the evolution process. By querying these teachers on states encountered by candidate programs, the system guides the search for effective static heuristics that outperform existing methods relying solely on endpoint performance.
