Title
Qualitative vs. quantitative plan diversity in case-based planning
Abstract
Plan diversity has practical value in multiple planning domains, including travel planning, military planning and game planning. Existing methods for obtaining plan diversity fall under two categories: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative plan diversity is domain-independent and does not require extensive knowledge-engineering effort, but can fail to reflect plan differences that are truly meaningful to users. Qualitative plan diversity is based on domain-specific characteristics which human experts might use to differentiate between plans, thus being able to produce results of greater practical value. However, the previous approach to qualitative plan diversity assumes the availability of a domain metatheory. We propose a case-based planning method for obtaining qualitative plan diversity through the use of distance metrics which incorporate domain-specific content, without requiring a domain metatheory. To our knowledge, this is the first time qualitative plan diversity is being explored in a case-based planning context.
