What is The Frame Problem

This chapter reports the last machine learning techniques for the assistance of automated planning. Recent discoveries in automated planning have opened the scope of planners, from toy problems to real-world applications, making new challenges come into focus. The planning community believes that machine learning can assist to address these new challenges. The chapter collects the last machine learning techniques for assisting automated planners classified in: techniques for the improvement of the planning search processes and techniques for the automatic definition of planning action models. For each technique, the chapter provides an in-depth analysis of their domain, advantages and disadvantages. Finally, the chapter draws the outline of the new promising avenues for research in learning for planning systems.
