Title: Execution-Verified Reinforcement Learning for Optimization Modeling

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.00442v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automating optimization modeling with LLMs is a promising path toward scalable decision intelligence, but existing approaches either rely on agentic pipelines built on closed-source LLMs with high inference latency, or fine-tune smaller LLMs using costly process supervision that often overfits to a single solver API. Inspired by reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, we propose Execution-Verified Optimization Modeling (EVOM), an execution-
