Abstract

Understanding user preferences and implicit cost trade-offs in automated planning often requires inferring underlying cost functions directly from observed behavior. We formulate the problem of learning numeric action costs from plan traces using mathematical programming and linear constraint satisfaction, demonstrating rapid convergence to expert cost structures.
