Question Asking to Inform Procedure Learning
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…

Sequential Monte Carlo in Reachability Heuristics for Probabilistic Planning
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,…

Dynamic Intention Structures I: a Theory of Intention Representation
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,…

Usable Artificial Intelligence
The AI and HCI communities have often been characterized as having opposing views of how humans and computers should interact" observes Winograd in "Shifting Viewpoints". Reconciling these views requires a…

Answering Science Questions: Deduction with Answer Extraction and Procedural Attachment
An approach to question answering through automated deduction is advocated. External knowledge resources, including data and software, are consulted through a mechanism known as procedural attachment.

Toward Establishing Trust in Adaptive Agents
We present the results of a study among test users of CALO, one such complex adaptive agent system, to investigate themes surrounding trust and understandability. We identify and discuss eight…

Template-Based Structured Argumentation
Collaborative analysis is supported via simultaneous access to arguments through web browser clients connected to a common argument server.

Using a Semantic Wiki as a Knowledge Source for Rich Modeling and Question Answering
We are exploring the following hypothesis at the intersection between knowledge engineering and the semantic web: Can we use a semantic wiki to acquire symbolic knowledge on the web that…

An Email Assistant That Learns to Suggest Reusable Replies
We have implemented an approach in which rapid improvement in performance at suggesting reusable text is achieved by learning from limited user feedback.

Generating Box Invariants
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…
