Synthesizing Feature Extractors: An Agentic Approach for Algorithm Selection
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.17170v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Algorithm selection for constraint satisfaction problems requires extracting features that capture problem structure. Manually designing feature extractors demands deep domain expertise and quickly becomes a bottleneck when new problem classes appear. We present an automated approach that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) in an agentic check--fix--verify loop to synthesize executable Python scripts that act as interpretable, problem-specific feature extractors. Given a high-level MiniZinc model and an instance, the LLM agent generates code that c
