Sampling Luck Masquerades as Allocation Gain: Auditing Test-Time Budget Allocation for Neural Combinatorial Optimization

Neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) solvers report the best of many sampled solutions per instance, and the sample count is, by convention, identical for every instance. Whether a non-uniform allocation of a fixed total budget would buy anything has not been measured. We measure it, and we audit the measurement its...

Spread and Scale: What Determines Whether Test-Time Budget Allocation Pays

This paper answers both questions through pre-registered confirmatory experiments -- analysis and verdict criteria fixed before data collection -- across three independently trained solvers and two ways of constructing harder workloads on the traveling salesman problem.
