DESCRIPTION:Neural models -- including language models such as ChatGPT -- 
 can exhibit remarkable abilities\; paradoxically\, they also struggle with
  algorithmic tasks where much simpler models excel. To solve these issues\
 , we propose Implicit Maximum Likelihood Estimation (IMLE)\, a framework f
 or end-to-end learning of models combining algorithmic combinatorial solve
 rs and differentiable neural components\, which allows us to incorporate p
 lanning and reasoning algorithms in neural architectures by just adding a 
 simple decorator [1\, 2].\n\n[1] Implicit MLE: Backpropagating Through Dis
