Tag Embedding and Well-defined Intermediate Representation improve Auto-Formulation of Problem Description

In this report, I address auto-formulation of problem description, the task of converting an optimization problem into a canonical representation. I first simplify the auto-formulation task by defining an intermediate representation, then introduce entity tag embedding to utilize a given entity tag information. The ablation study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which finally took second place in NeurIPS 2022 NL4Opt competition subtask 2.
