• Title: Relevance Score: A Landmark-Like Heuristic for Planning
• Authors: Oliver Kim and Mohan Sridharan
• Abstract summary: We define a novel "relevance score" that helps identify facts or actions that appear in most but not all plans to achieve any given goal. We experimentally compare the performance of our approach with that of a state of the art landmark-based planning approach using benchmark planning problems.

• Abstract: Landmarks are facts or actions that appear in all valid solutions of a planning problem. They have been used successfully to calculate heuristics that guide the search for a plan. We investigate an extension to this concept by defining a novel "relevance score" that helps identify facts or actions that appear in most but not all plans to achieve any given goal. We describe an approach to compute this relevance score and use it as a heuristic in the search for a plan. We experimentally compare the performance of our approach with that of a state of the art landmark-based heuristic planning approach using benchmark planning problems. While the original landmark-based heuristic leads to better performance on problems with well-defined landmarks, our approach substantially improves performance on problems that lack non-trivial landmarks.

  This paper introduces LHPF, an imitation learning planner that integrates historical planning information. Our approach employs a historical intention aggregation module that pools historical planning intentions. Experiments using both real-world and synthetic data demonstrate that LHPF not only surpasses existing advanced learning-based planners in planning performance but also marks the first instance of a purely learning-based planner outperforming the expert.

Our experiments, based on the CLRS-30 algorithmic reasoning benchmark, demonstrate that both ForgetNet and G-ForgetNet achieve better generalization capability than existing methods.

  Diffusion-based generative methods have proven effective in modeling trajectories with offline datasets. We introduce the Hierarchical diffuser, a fast, yet surprisingly effective planning method combining the advantages of hierarchical and diffusion-based planning. Our model adopts a "jumpy" planning strategy at the higher level, which allows it to have a larger receptive field but at a lower computational cost.

• The More the Merrier?! Evaluating the Effect of Landmark Extraction Algorithms on Landmark-Based Goal Recognition [25.6019435583572]
  Recent approaches to goal and plan recognition using classical planning domains have achieved state of the art results in terms of both recognition time and accuracy. To achieve such fast recognition time these approaches use efficient, but incomplete, algorithms to extract only a subset of landmarks for planning domains and problems. In this paper, we investigate the impact and effect of using various landmark extraction algorithms capable of extracting a larger proportion of the landmarks for each given planning problem.
