Instead, they should build the world model that a classical planner then uses. The authors give GPT-4 a list of actions with short natural-language descriptions and have it write PDDL action models, meaning predicates, preconditions and effects. Early… 2. **[LLMs Can't Plan, But Can Help Planning in LLM-Modulo Frameworks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kambhampati-2024-llms-t-plan-but-help/)** *(2024 · 88 citations)* This position paper responds to two opposing errors in the debate on LLMs and planning. One overstates their reasoning ability. The other treats them as mere text-to-symbol converters for classical solvers. The authors review evidence, much of it from their own group, that autoregressive LLMs cannot reliably produce… ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Karthik Valmeekam](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/karthik-valmeekam/) ×2 - [Subbarao Kambhampati](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/subbarao-kambhampati/) ×2 - [Sarath Sreedharan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sarath-sreedharan/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/): [NeurIPS 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 140 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [32 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lin-guan/cited-by/).
