Abstract
LLM-Guided Contextual Action Evaluation (LCAE) uses industrial documents to construct a semantic representation of actions for operational decisions. Before training, an LLM extracts a fixed basis describing which observations an action affects, the effect direction, and the response delay. Recent numerical action-response history adjusts relation strengths, and candidate actions are represented through a state-conditioned action-effect field. The critic evaluates this representation, while the actor uses the same relation gains to generate actions. Training and deployment require no online LLM or embedding-model calls. The approach investigates whether documented action relations, conditioned on recent process history, provide a more useful decision bias than raw action coordinates.
