Improving Heuristics through Search

Patrik Haslum

We investigate two methods of using limited search to improve admissible heuristics for planning, similar to pattern databases and pattern searches. Since one method involves searching in an AND/OR graph, we also develop a new algorithm for searching such graphs. Results indicate that these methods are cost-effective for some kinds of hard planning problems.
