Learning to Solve Orienteering Problem with Time Windows and Variable Profitscs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2603.06260v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: The orienteering problem with time windows and variable profits (OPTWVP) is common in many real-world applications and involves continuous time variables. Current approaches fail to develop an efficient solver for this orienteering problem variant with discrete and continuous variables. In this paper, we propose a learning-based two-stage DEcoupled discrete-Continuous optimization with Service-time-guided Trajectory (DeCoST), which aims to effectively decouple the discrete and continuous decision variables in the OPTWVP problem, while enabling efficient and learnable coordination between them. In the first stage, a parallel decoding structure is employed to predict the path and the initial service time allocation. The second stage optimizes the service times through a linear programming (LP) formulation and provides a long-horizon learning of structure estimation. We rigorously prove the global optimality of the second-stage solution. Experiments on OPTWVP instances demonstrate that DeCoST outperforms both state-of-the-art constructive solvers and the latest meta-heuristic algorithms in terms of solution quality and computational efficiency, achieving up to 6.6x inference speedup on instances with fewer than 500 nodes. Moreover, the proposed framework is compatible with various constructive solvers and consistently enhances the solution quality for OPTWVP.

Structured Exploration vs. Generative Flexibility: A Field Study Comparing Bandit and LLM Architectures for Personalised Health Behaviour Interventionscs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2603.06330v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) are central to digital health interventions, yet selecting and delivering effective techniques remains challenging. Contextual bandits enable statistically grounded optimisation of BCT selection, while Large Language Models (LLMs) offer flexible, context-sensitive message generation. We conducted a 4-week study on physical activity motivation (N=54; 9 post-study interviews) that compared five daily messaging approaches: random templates, contextual bandit with templates, LLM generation, hybrid bandit+LLM, and LLM with interaction history. LLM-based approaches were rated substantially more helpful than templates, but no significant differences emerged among LLM conditions. Unexpectedly, bandit optimisation for BCTs selection yielded no additional perceived helpfulness compared with LLM-only approaches. Unconstrained LLMs focused heavily on a single BCT, whereas bandit systems enforced systematic exploration-exploitation across techniques. Quantitative and qualitative findings suggest contextual acknowledgement of user input drove perceived helpfulness. We contribute design suggestions for reflective AI health behaviour change systems that address a trade-off between structured exploration and generative autonomy.

The World Won’t Stay Still: Programmable Evolution for Agent Benchmarkscs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2603.05910v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: LLM-powered agents fulfill user requests by interacting with environments, querying data, and invoking tools in a multi-turn process. Yet, most existing benchmarks assume static environments with fixed schemas and toolsets, neglecting the evolutionary nature of the real world and agents’ robustness to environmental changes. In this paper, we study a crucial problem: how to evolve the agent environment in a scalable and controllable way, thereby better evaluating agents’ adaptability to real-world dynamics. We propose ProEvolve, a graph-based framework that makes environment evolution programmable. At its core, a typed relational graph provides a unified, explicit representation of the environment: data, tools, and schema. Under this formalism, adding, removing, or modifying capabilities are expressed as graph transformations that coherently propagate updates across tools, schemas, and data access. Building on this, ProEvolve can (1) program the evolutionary dynamics as graph transformations to generate environments automatically, and (2) instantiate task sandboxes via subgraph sampling and programming. We validate ProEvolve by evolving a single environment into 200 environments and 3,000 task sandboxes, and benchmark representative agents accordingly.

Addressing the Ecological Fallacy in Larger LMs with Human Contextcs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2603.05928v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Language model training and inference ignore a fundamental linguistic fact — there is a dependence between multiple sequences of text written by the same person. Prior work has shown that addressing this form of textit{ecological fallacy} can greatly improve the performance of multiple smaller (~124M) GPT-based models. In this work, we ask if addressing the ecological fallacy by modeling the author’s language context with a specific LM task (called HuLM) can provide similar benefits for a larger-scale model, an 8B Llama model. To this end, we explore variants that process an author’s language in the context of their other temporally ordered texts. We study the effect of pre-training with this author context using the HuLM objective, as well as using it during fine-tuning with author context (textit{HuFT:Human-aware Fine-Tuning}). Empirical comparisons show that addressing the ecological fallacy during fine-tuning alone using QLoRA improves the performance of the larger 8B model over standard fine-tuning. Additionally, QLoRA-based continued HuLM pre-training results in a human-aware model generalizable for improved performance over eight downstream tasks with linear task classifier training alone. These results indicate the utility and importance of modeling language in the context of its original generators, the authors.
