New search method drastically cuts AI planning space requirements

Researchers have developed a novel approach to heuristic search for plans that significantly reduces space complexity. By learning generalized policies with registers and a "choose" rule, the method ensures polynomial space complexity regardless of the state space size, albeit at the cost of increased time complexity. This technique successfully solved a large majority of test tasks from the IPC 2023 Learning Track and the Autoscale Agile suite, outperforming existing methods like LAMA and BFWS. AI

IMPACT This new planning search method could enable AI agents to operate with significantly less memory, potentially expanding their capabilities in resource-constrained environments.

    Learning How to Search for Plans with Exponentially Less Space

    arXiv:2610.10954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Heuristic search for a plan can store exponentially many states, even when its heuristic is almost perfect. We instead learn search control, one specification per domain, written as an indexical policy: a generalized policy with reg…
