Title: Fine-tuning Large Language Model for Automated Algorithm Design

Abstract:
arXiv:2507.10614v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The integration of large language models (LLMs) into automated algorithm design has shown promising potential. A prevalent approach embeds LLMs within search routines to iteratively generate and refine candidate algorithms. However, most existing methods rely on off-the-shelf LLMs trained for general coding tasks, leaving a key question open: Do we need LLMs specifically tailored for algorithm design? If so, how can such LLMs be effective
