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.
