Abstract

The shortest path problem in graphs is a cornerstone of AI theory and applications. Existing algorithms generally ignore edge weight computation time. We present a generalized framework for weighted directed graphs, where edge weight can be computed (estimated) multiple times, at increasing accuracy and run-time expense. This raises several generalized variants of the shortest path problem. We introduce the problem of finding a path with the tightest lower-bound on the optimal cost. We then present two complete algorithms for the generalized problem, and empirically demonstrate their efficacy.
