mGPT: A Probabilistic Planner Based on Heuristic Search
2005
The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
This version, called mGPT, solves Markov Decision Processes specified in the PPDDL language by extracting and using different classes of lower bounds along with various heuristic-search algorithms. ...
The heuristic-search algorithms use these lower bounds for focusing the updates and delivering a consistent value function over all states reachable from the initial state and the greedy policy. ...
Acknowledgements mGPT was built upon a parser developed by John Asmuth from Rutgers University and Håkan Younes from Carnegie Mellon University. We also thank David E. ...

Bridging the Gap Between Probabilistic Model Checking and Probabilistic Planning: Survey, Compilations, and Empirical Comparison
2020
The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
We use this benchmark set as a basis for an extensive empirical comparison of various approaches from the model checking community, variants of value iteration, and MDP heuristic search algorithms developed ...
On a per benchmark domain basis, techniques from one community can achieve state-ofthe-art performance in benchmarks of the other community. ...
