Online Detection of Dead States in Real-Time Agent-Centered Search
Guni Sharon, Nathan Sturtevant, Ariel Felner · Proceedings of the International Symposium on Combinatorial Search · 2021
In this paper we introduce techniques for state pruning atruntime in a priori unknown domains. We describe how toidentify states that can be deleted from the state-space whenlooking for both optimal and suboptimal solutions. We discussgeneral graphs and special cases like 8-connected grids.Experimental results show a speed up of up to an order ofmagnitude when applying our techniques on real-time agentcenteredsearch problems.
