arXiv:2605. 29649v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Heuristic search is the dominant paradigm in symbolic AI planning, and the strongest heuristics are the result of decades of work by planning researchers.

arXiv:2501. 18784v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Heuristics are a central component of deterministic planning, particularly in domain-independent settings where general applicability is prioritized over task-specific tuning.

arXiv:2505. 13372v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work investigated the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for the synthesis of heuristic guidance to improve the performance of temporal planners when a domain is fixed and a set of training problems (not plans) is given.

Automatic Heuristic Design (AHD) has emerged as a transformative approach for solving combinatorial optimization problems. While recent Large Language Model (LLM)-based methods have shown promise, they predominantly rely on fixed evolutionary operators and struggle to effectively accumulate and reuse historical search experience.

arXiv:2606. 04597v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Admissible heuristics are essential for optimal planning, yet learning them remains challenging due to the risk of overestimation.

arXiv:2608. 16637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs remain unreliable for long-horizon planning, often generating logically inconsistent or non-applicable plans.

arXiv:2605. 28566v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet their standard generation process -- auto-regressive token prediction -- is inherently myopic and prone to cascading errors.

GRASP is a multi-stage planning framework that improves the reliability of large language models on complex tasks. It separates planning into three specialized modules—GenPlan for global macro-guidelines, RevPlan for exploring localized strategies, and VerPlan for multi-criteria evaluation—allowing context isolation and strict macro-regularization. Experiments show GRASP outperforms direct LLM planners by significant margins on datasets such as Natural Plan Calendar Scheduling, ZebraLogic, and SciBench Math, and it mitigates performance collapse in multi-task and dual-task settings.

arXiv:2606. 10489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated Planning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI) where the main objective is generating a sequence of actions, known as a plan, that helps us reach a goal state from an initial state.
