arXiv:2606.10611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional heuristic solvers for the 2D irregular nesting problem share a fundamental limitation: they are blind to polygon geometry, relying on guided brute-force to navigate the continuous placement space with minimal geometrical guidance. In this paper, we argue that Reinforcement Learning is uniquely positioned to overcome this bottleneck. By pairing an optimization policy with a geometry-aware neural encoder, an agent can automatically discover rich geometric priors directly from data, utilizing these learned intuitions to strategically gui
