New method improves NL-to-PDDL problem generation with LLM and repair

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for generating PDDL (Planning Domain Definition Language) problem instances from natural language descriptions. This approach combines LLM generation with a multi-stage evaluation and repair process, including checks for parsing, planning, validation, and a domain-conformance checker. The system aims to improve the faithfulness of generated problems to the intended task by addressing potential misrepresentations in initial state, goal, object structure, or optimization targets. Experiments across several benchmarks indicate that while operational success can improve, reconstructing reference PDDL problems remains challenging. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and reliable automated planning systems by improving the translation of human-readable task descriptions into machine-executable PDDL.

    Grounded Evaluation and Repair for NL-to-PDDL Problem Generation

    arXiv:2609.09898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise for translating Natural Language (NL) planning descriptions into PDDL problem instances. However, standard evaluation criteria such as syntactic validity or planner success can substan…
