Title
Beam Search: Faster and Monotonic.
Abstract
Beam search is a popular satisficing approach to heuristic search problems that allows one to trade increased computation time for lower solution cost by increasing the beam width parameter. We make two contributions to the study of beam search. First, we show how to make beam search monotonic; that is, we provide a new variant that guarantees nonincreasing solution cost as the beam width is increased. This makes setting the beam parameter much easier. Second, we show how using distance-to-go estimates can allow beam search to find better solutions more quickly in domains with non-uniform costs. Together, these results improve the practical effectiveness of beam search.
