Abstract

Automated planning provides a powerful general problem solving tool, however, its need for a model creates a bottleneck that can be an obstacle for using it in real-world settings. In this work we propose to use neural networks, namely Cellular Simultaneous Recurrent Networks (CSRN), to process a planning problem and provide a heuristic value estimate that can more efficiently steer the automated planning algorithms to a solution. Using this particular architecture provides us with a scale-free solution that can be used on any problem domain represented by a planar grid. We train the CSRN architecture on two benchmark domains, provide analysis of its generalizing and scaling abilities. We also integrate the trained network into a planner and compare its performance against commonly used heuristic functions.
