Beyond Plan Length: heuristic search planning for maximum reward problems
Recently automatic extraction of heuristic estimates has been shown to be extremely fruitful when applied to classical planning domains. We present a simple extension to the heuristic extraction process from the well-known HSP system that allows us to apply it to reward maximisation problems. This extension involves computing an estimate of the maximal reward obtainable from a given state by ignoring delete lists. We also describe how to improve the accuracy of this estimate using any available mutual exclusion information. In this way we seek to apply recent advances in classical planning to a broader range of problems, ultimately to include both both probabilistic and decision theoretic problems.

Abstract

Recently automatic extraction of heuristic estimates has been shown to be extremely fruitful when applied to classical planning domains. We present a simple extension to the heuristic extraction process from the well-known HSP system that allows us to apply it to reward maximisation problems. This extension involves computing an estimate of the maximal reward obtainable from a given state by ignoring delete lists. We also describe how to improve the accuracy of this estimate using any available mutual exclusion information. In this way we seek to apply recent advances in classical planning to a broader range of problems, ultimately to include both both probabilistic and decision theoretic problems.
