Multi-view multi-label feature selection aims to identify a compact and informative feature subset from heterogeneous views while preserving discriminative information for multiple labels. Existing methods are generally developed from specific modeling perspectives and incorporate mechanisms tailored to particular data characteristics. Designing suitable feature selection algorithms across datasets with diverse and heterogeneous characteristics still relies heavily on expert knowledge and substantial manual effort, imposing considerable time and labor costs that severely hinder the practical adoption of feature selection. To address this problem, we propose FeatureHospital, a Skill-driven multi-agent framework for automated multi-view multi-label feature selection algorithm design. FeatureHospital first diagnoses the target dataset to identify its feature selection issues. Based on the diagnosis, specialist agents equipped with domain Skills then prescribe corresponding optimization strategies and Loss terms for different issues. After that, the resulting prescriptions are reconciled to remove overlaps and resolve conflicts before being integrated into a compact dataset-specific objective. Finally, the constructed objective is optimized to select the final feature subset. Experimental results demonstrate that FeatureHospital can construct effective feature selection algorithms for different datasets based on their individual characteristics.
The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has opened new avenues for Automated Heuristic Design (AHD) for solving NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). However, existing LLM-driven AHD methods are largely confined to rigid solver templates, relegating the search process to isolated module tuning. Transitioning to fully autonomous, system-level algorithm design is essential but fraught with low reliability of generated operators, extremely large search spaces, and ineffective credit assignment. To overcome these drawbacks, this paper proposes a Directed Graph-Guided Automated Algorithm Design framework, termed DGA$_2$D. It structures the open-ended program space as a directed graph, where each node represents a functional operator that can be instantiated using one of multiple candidate code implementations, while directed walks constitute complete algorithmic pipelines. A first-order path-dependent credit assignment mechanism is introduced to evaluate code variations strictly based on their topological context. Extensive experiments across 12 distinct COPs, ranging from complex scheduling to routing, demonstrate the consistent empirical advantages of DGA$_2$D. It reduces the average normalized gap by up to 10.96 percentage points compared to state-of-the-art LLM baselines.
