Google DeepMind researchers develop GRASE-DC, a two-stage pipeline that improves large language models' planning capabilities by selecting contextual examples based on action sequence similarity, achieving 11-40 percentage point accuracy improvements across multiple planning tasks while requiring fewer exemplars compared to random selection methods.

Key insights

  • Action sequence similarity is more effective than problem similarity for selecting relevant planning examples
  • Dynamic clustering helps maintain diversity while prioritizing highly similar exemplars
  • Iterative refinement with validator feedback further improves planning performance
