LLMs Generate Heuristics to Improve Hierarchical Task Network Planning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have explored the use of large language models (LLMs) to generate heuristics for Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning. This approach aims to improve the informativeness of heuristics in HTN planning, which has historically lagged behind classical planning methods. By prompting nine different LLMs, the study found that the generated heuristics could nearly match the coverage of the best existing HTN planners while significantly reducing search effort on a majority of benchmark problems. AI

IMPACT LLM-generated heuristics could significantly enhance the efficiency and capability of AI planning systems in complex task decomposition.

    Hierarchical Task Network Planning with LLM-Generated Heuristics

    arXiv:2605.07707v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: HTN planning is a variation of classical planning where, instead of searching for a linear sequence of actions, an algorithm decomposes higher-level tasks using a method library until only executable actions remain. On one hand,…
