Abstract

We propose a novel method for efficient θ-subsumption. Our solution is based on the idea of object context which embody the contextual information in a clause and is given by occurrences of identical objects or chains of such occurrences. Efficient θ-subsumption is crucial for AI planning approaches that rely on lifted first-order reasoning. We incorporate our object context-based method for θ-subsumption within one approach for lifted first-order planning under uncertainty, referred to as LIFT-UP, and compare it with several related techniques.
