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: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.

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.
PIE-APT introduces a unified framework for abductive planning over Temporal Dynamic Knowledge Graphs (TDKGs) using two modules: PIE-Abducer, which performs incremental direct-derivation abduction, and PIE-APT, which interleaves backward‑chaining A* search with PIE-Abducer to generate action sequences and abductive assumptions. The approach operates natively on the expressive SROIQ Description Logic, leveraging an incremental reasoner to maintain decidability and bypass the Ramification Problem. Evaluation on four OWL benchmarks demonstrates qualitative superiority over classical planners and shows that the direct‑derivation method outperforms a Minimal Hitting Set baseline in abductive enrichment.
