MemPlan integrates LLMs with symbolic planning for text environments

Researchers have developed MemPlan, a novel planning framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with symbolic planning for text-based environments. This system uses memory-conditioned PDDL planning to overcome the limitations of LLMs in long-horizon tasks, such as hallucinations and invalid actions. MemPlan reconstructs the planning problem at each step using parsed observations, hypotheses, and interaction memory, guiding the planner with relevance-based action costs and exclusion constraints derived from feedback. Experiments on TextWorld, ALFWorld, and Robotouille demonstrate MemPlan's effectiveness in improving task completion and efficiency while reducing computational costs compared to existing methods. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the reliability and efficiency of LLM agents in complex, multi-step tasks within interactive environments.

    MemPlan: Memory-Conditioned PDDL Planning for Partially Observable Text Environments

    arXiv:2610.30379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are flexible in language interaction, but using them as long-horizon planners is costly and prone to hallucinated or invalid actions. This paper targets a different role for LLMs: constrained bridges between language and …
