Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning is a powerful planning formalism based on task decomposition.

Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv

It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.

Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Blended score 0.398 — every figure below is computed, none of it is editorial.
FactorWeightScore ContributionWhere it came from
Corroboration 0.35 0.39 +0.135 34% 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.
Source trustleads 0.25 0.85 +0.212 53% arXiv is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged.
Pickup rate 0.20 0.00 +0.000 0% One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate.
Freshness 0.20 0.25 +0.050 13% Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened

Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning is a powerful planning formalism based on task decomposition. Although most of the literature studied plan generation, comparatively less attention has been paid to post-plan optimization. In particular, plan deordering has been extensively studied in classical planning but remains under-researched in the HTN setting. Plan deordering removes unnecessary ordering constraints between actions in a plan whilst keeping the plan valid. In this paper, we adapt two established plan deordering techniques from classical planning by extending the techniques to account for hierarchical decomposition constraints.
