Title: Beyond Objective Equivalence: Constraint Injection for LLM-Based Optimization Modeling on Vehicle Routing Problems

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.04816v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly translate natural-language optimization problems into executable solver code. Yet for constraint-dense operations research (OR) problems, existing data-filtering and training pipelines largely rely on objective-equivalence signals such as differential testing and answer agreement, which a program can pass while adding spurious constraints or silently omitting required ones, whenever those constraints are no
