💡 ML Concept of the Day: Autonomous Agents and External-Aid Planning
Continuing our exploration of planning methods in autonomous agents, today we would explore a family of techniques known as external-aid planning. As its name suggests, these methods look to complement an LLM with external capabilities that can lead to better planning. In general, external-aid planning falls into two main groups: symbolic planners and neural planners, depending on the type of planner integrated.
1) Symbolic Planner
