Jointly evolving algorithmic plans and code yields fast hybrid optimizers

HeurEvo automates the design of solver-augmented heuristics by co-evolving high-level structure, implementation, and reusable components, matching or beating long-running solvers on diverse benchmarks.

The authors propose HeurEvo, an automated framework that co-evolves algorithmic plans, executable code, and a shared component pool to generate hybrid optimization algorithms.

HeurEvo structures algorithm design as a plan–code–component co-evolution.
