A new arXiv preprint (arXiv:2608.13087v1) reports that apparent gains from non-uniform test-time budget allocation in neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) are largely an artifact of in-sample evalu…

A new arXiv paper (2608.00296v1) proposes Stabilized Best-of-K training for neural combinatorial optimization, modifying the Leader Reward method to use a stabilized rank signal indexed by sampling bu…
