Neuro-Symbolic Causal Procedural Planning with Commonsense Prompting

This is the official repor for our paper titled "Neuro-Symbolic Causal Procedural Planning with Commonsense Prompting", which is accepted to ICLR 2023.

Overview

Two independant procedural planning task examples from RobotHow and WikiHow. PLAN construct commonsense-infused prompt from external knowledge (e.g., ConceptNet) to elicit procedural planning ability of the Large Language Models (LLMs) without training or exemplars.

Our five-stage pipeline includes: 1) semantically parsing the task T into concept set TE to retrieve subgraph Gs from the external knowledge base G. 2) formalize procedural prompt PG and then translate into the admissible one PˆG. 3) aggregate task, previous steps and PG as final commonsense-infused prompt P. (Section 3.1) 4) and 5) generating and translating time-extended procedural plan until triggering the termination condition. (Section 3.2)
