TLDR
This work extends single-step-error adaptation to heuristic functions from Partial Order Causal Link (POCL) planning to allow a partial order planner to observe the effective average- step-error during search.
Abstract
The design of domain independent heuristic functions often brings up experimental evidence that different heuristics perform well in different domains. A promising approach is to monitor and reduce the error associated with a given heuristic function even as the planner solves a problem. We extend this single-step-error adaptation to heuristic functions from Partial Order Causal Link (POCL) planning. The goal is to allow a partial order planner to observe the effective average-step-error during search. The preliminary evaluation shows that our approach improves the informativeness of the state-of-the-art heuristics. Our planner solves more problems by using the improved heuristics as compared to when it uses current heuristics in the selected domains.

Learning and Tuning Meta-heuristics in Plan Space Planning

TL;DR: An online error minimization approach in POCL framework is discussed to minimize the step-error associated with the offline learned models thus enhancing their informativeness and scale up the performance of the planner over standard benchmarks, specially for larger problems.

Fast planning through planning graph analysis

TL;DR: A new approach to planning in STRIPS-like domains based on constructing and analyzing a compact structure the authors call a Planning Graph is introduced, and a new planner, Graphplan, is described that uses this paradigm.

Fast planning through planning graph analysis

TL;DR: Graphplan as mentioned in this paper is a partial-order planner based on constructing and analyzing a compact structure called a planning graph, which can be used to find the shortest possible partial order plan or state that no valid plan exists.

Planning as heuristic search

TL;DR: A family of heuristic search planners are studied based on a simple and general heuristic that assumes that action preconditions are independent, which is used in the context of best-first and hill-climbing search algorithms, and tested over a large collection of domains.
