This paper proposes a universal framework, LLMFP, that leverages large language models (LLMs) to solve complex planning problems. The authors observe that many planning problems can be formulated as optimization problems, which aligns with the capabilities of LLMs in reasoning and programming. LLMFP captures key information from planning problems and formally formulates and solves them from scratch, eliminating the need for task-specific examples. The framework is evaluated on 9 planning tasks, demonstrating significant improvements over baseline methods. The authors also conduct ablation experiments to validate the components of LLMFP.

This paper creates a new way for computers to solve complex planning problems. Right now, these computers (LLMs) are good at giving answers, but not so great at making plans. The problem is that most planners need special help or examples specific to each task, which limits how well they can work on different tasks. The researchers found that many planning problems can be solved by treating them like optimization problems, which LLMs are good at solving. They created a new framework called LLMFP that uses this approach and tested it on 9 different planning tasks. It performed much better than other methods, showing promise for using LLMs to solve complex planning problems.
