Researchers have developed a novel self-improving planning framework called WA* that combines a value heuristic represented by a Relational Graph Neural Network with Q-learning. This approach guides search and uses the resulting data to update the heuristic, enabling it to function as a general policy. The framework demonstrates strong zero-shot generalization capabilities, solving new problem instances without search, which is a significant advancement over traditional Deep Reinforcement Learning methods in sparse-reward domains. The system has shown success on benchmarks like Sokoban, PushWorld, The Witness, and the 2023 International Planning Competition. AI
