Solving Complex Planning Problems with LLMs

Solving Complex Planning Problems with LLMs

Combining AI with Formal Verification for Rigorous Planning

This research introduces a novel framework that enables Large Language Models to solve complex, multi-constraint planning problems with high accuracy.

  • Transforms planning challenges into Constraint Satisfaction Problems that can be formally verified
  • Achieves 90% success rate on the challenging TravelPlanner benchmark where even advanced LLMs like OpenAI o1 only reached 10%
  • Implements a systematic approach where LLMs handle natural language processing while verification tools ensure correctness
  • Provides explanations for unsolvable problems, identifying conflicts in constraints

This breakthrough enables engineering teams to leverage LLMs for mission-critical planning applications with mathematical guarantees of correctness, bridging the gap between AI capabilities and formal verification requirements.
