AAAI’25 Workshop, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Date: March 3, 2025

Overview

Large Language Models (LLMs) are a disruptive force, changing how research was done in many sub-areas of AI. Planning is one of the last bastions that remain standing. The focus of this workshop is on the questions in the intersection of these areas. Some of the specific areas we would like to gain a better understanding in include: what LLMs can contribute to planning, how LLMs can/should be used, what are the pitfalls of using LLMs, what are the guarantees that can be obtained.

Topics of Interest

We invite paper submissions on the following (not exhaustive) list of topics:

• Algorithms and theories of planning with pre-trained or fine-tuned LLMs.
• LLMs for (partial) model elicitation.
• LLMs for search guidance or search pruning.
• LLMs for planning modulo theories.
• LLMs as proxies for user preferences.
• Validation/verification of plans, policies, or models.
• Generalization in planning and generalized planning with LLMs.
• Using LLMs to develop interfaces for planning-related problems.
• Other applications of LLMs in planning.
• Other applications of large vision-language models (VLMs) in planning.
• Planning for LLMs and VLMs.

Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: November 29th, AoE 

Paper acceptance notification: December 11th, AoE

AAAI will be in-person this year. Authors of accepted workshop papers are expected to register for the workshop, physically attend the conference and present in person.

Submission Details

We solicit workshop paper submissions relevant to the above call of the following types:

Long papers – up to 8 pages + unlimited references / appendices 

Short papers – up to 4 pages + unlimited references / appendices

Please format submissions in AAAI style (see instructions in the Author Kit ). Authors submitting papers rejected from other conferences, please ensure you do your utmost to address the comments given by the reviewers. 

Some accepted long papers will be invited for contributed talks. All accepted papers (long as well as short) will be given a slot in the poster presentation session.

Paper submissions should be made through OpenReview. 

The review process is single blind by default, so please include author details. If the paper is currently under review at some other venue, we do allow an anonymous submission. To clarify, we do not enforce anonymity for submissions but do support it - authors' names will not be displayed on OpenReview during the review period. It is entirely up to the authors to decide whether they wish to anonymize the PDFs they submit.
