We propose a framework that augments learning by demonstration through a facility for asking questions of the demonstrator. We define a catalog of questions designed to inform learning by demonstration…

In this work, we apply heuristic search to conformant probabilistic planning by adapting planning graph heuristics developed for non-deterministic planning. We evaluate a straight-forward application of these planning graph techniques,…

The paper builds on ideas from dynamic logic to present a solution to the representation and evolution of agent intentions involving reference to incompletely specified and, possibly, mutually dependent intentions,…

The goal of the AI Meets Business Rules and Process Management AAAI symposium was to investigate the various approaches and standards to represent business rules, business process management, and the…

We describe the design of a user-centric, integrated planning and scheduling system that assists the user in exploring the rich space of plans and associated resource assignment options in complex,…

This paper describes the integration of diverse AI technologies and presents results from human evaluation studies comparing RADAR user performance to unaided COTS tool users and users partnered with a…

This paper also shows that the class of multiaffine systems, which has been used successfully for modeling and analyzing regulatory and biochemical reaction networks, can be generalized to the class…

This paper describes PROCAT, an implemented ontology-based catalog for components, built on a layered representation that allows reasoning about processes at varying levels of abstraction, from qualitative constraints reflecting preconditions and…

Email clients were not designed to serve as a task management tools, but a high volume of task-relevant information in email leads many people to use email clients for this…

We consider the problem of autonomous navigation in an unstructured outdoor environment. The goal is for a small outdoor robot to come into a new area, learn about and map…
