A novel approach to applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to Combinatorial Problems (CPs) is proposed, utilizing a prompting strategy called Self-Guiding Exploration (SGE). This method operates autonomously, generating multiple thought trajectories for each CP task, breaking them down into actionable subtasks, executing them sequentially, and refining the results to ensure optimal outcomes. The SGE approach outperforms existing prompting strategies by over 27.84% in CP optimization performance, while also achieving a 2.46% higher accuracy over the best existing results in other reasoning tasks (arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic). This research demonstrates the potential of LLMs to effectively address complex combinatorial problems.

LLMs have become great at solving many types of problems! But they haven’t been used much for Combinatorial Problems, which are really important in logistics and resource management. A new way called Self-Guiding Exploration helps LLMs solve these problems better. It’s like a roadmap that shows the best steps to take to get the right answer. This approach works really well, doing even better than other ways of solving these types of problems!
