• Abstract: Symbolic planners can discover a sequence of actions from initial to goal states given expert-defined, domain-specific logical action semantics. Large Language Models (LLMs) can directly generate such sequences, but limitations in reasoning and state-tracking often result in plans that are insufficient or unexecutable. We propose Predicting Semantics of Actions with Language Models (PSALM), which automatically learns action semantics by leveraging the strengths of both symbolic planners and LLMs. PSALM repeatedly proposes and executes plans, using the LLM to partially generate plans and to infer domain-specific action semantics based on execution outcomes. PSALM maintains a belief over possible action semantics that is iteratively updated until a goal state is reached. Experiments on 7 environments show that when learning just from one goal, PSALM boosts plan success rate from 36.4% (on Claude-3.5) to 100%, and explores the environment more efficiently than prior work to infer ground truth domain action semantics.

  Existing LLM agent systems typically select actions from a fixed and predefined set at every step. We propose an LLM agent framework that enables the dynamic creation and composition of actions in an online manner. Our experiments on the GAIA benchmark demonstrate that this framework offers significantly greater flexibility and outperforms previous methods.

  We introduce LangSuitE, a versatile and simulation-free testbed featuring 6 representative embodied tasks in textual embodied worlds. Compared with previous LLM-based testbeds, LangSuitE offers adaptability to diverse environments without multiple simulation engines. We devise a novel chain-of-thought (CoT) schema, EmMem, which summarizes embodied states w.r.t. history information.

  Large language model (LLM) empowered agents are able to solve decision-making problems in the physical world. Under this model, the LLM Planner navigates a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) by iteratively generating language-based subgoals via prompting. We prove that the pretrained LLM Planner effectively performs Bayesian aggregated imitation learning (BAIL) through in-context learning.

  Conventional Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) approaches rely on manually crafted interfaces connecting symbolic task planning with continuous motion generation. Here, we present LLM3, a novel Large Language Model (LLM)-based TAMP framework featuring a domain-independent interface. Specifically, we leverage the powerful reasoning and planning capabilities of pre-trained LLMs to propose symbolic action sequences and select continuous action parameters for motion planning.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) offer the potential to enhance the generalizability as task-agnostic planners. We introduce ISR-LLM, a novel framework that improves LLM-based planning through an iterative self-refinement process. We show that ISR-LLM is able to achieve markedly higher success rates in task accomplishments compared to state-of-the-art LLM-based planners.

  We propose a TAsk Planing Agent (TaPA) in embodied tasks for grounded planning with physical scene constraint. During inference, we discover the objects in the scene by extending open-vocabulary object detectors to multi-view RGB images collected in different achievable locations. Experimental results show that the generated plan from our TaPA framework can achieve higher success rate than LLaVA and GPT-3.5 by a sizable margin.

  Recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Our central question is whether LLMs are able to translate goals specified in natural language to a structured planning language. Our empirical results on GPT 3.5 variants show that LLMs are much better suited towards translation rather than planning.

  We investigate the possibility of grounding high-level tasks, expressed in natural language, to a chosen set of actionable steps. We find that if pre-trained LMs are large enough and prompted appropriately, they can effectively decompose high-level tasks into low-level plans. We propose a procedure that conditions on existing demonstrations and semantically translates the plans to admissible actions.
