Title:Optimising Plans using Genetic Programming
Authors: Henrik Westerberg ; John Levine
Date:Sep 2001
Publication Title:Proceedings of the UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence (UKCI-01)
Publication Type:Conference Paper
Abstract:
Finding the shortest plan for a given planning problem is extremely hard. We present a domain independent approach for plan optimisation based on Genetic Programming. The algorithm is seeded with correct plans created by hand-encoded heuristic policy sets. The plans are very unlikely to be optimal but are created quickly. The sub-optimal plans are then evolved using a generational algorithm towards the optimal plan. We present initial results from Blocks World and the Briefcase Domain and found that GP method almost always improved sub-optimal plans, often drastically.
