PM: a metrics driven plan compiler
Robert G. Reynolds, Jonathan I. Maletic, S.E. Porvin · 2003
The partial metrics (PM) project, whose goal is to investigate the metrics-driven acquisition of planning knowledge, is discussed. The approach taken can be thought of as reverse compilation. Abstract plans are generated from source programs in a given target language. This process involves the integration of traditional compiler techniques with certain AI (artificial intelligence) paradigms. The current prototype's design is described. This prototype's capabilities are demonstrated by taking an Ada target program generated by a plan in the Programmer's Apprentice system and creating another plan using the PM knowledge compiler. The plan produced by the prototype possesses many of the original plan's features.>
