Monitoring plan preconditions can allow for replanning when a precondition fails, generally far in advance of the point in the plan where the precondition is relevant. However, mo...
Abstract. VolpexMPI is an MPI library designed for volunteer computing environments. In order to cope with the fundamental unreliability of these environments, VolpexMPI deploys tw...
This paper presents a new framework for accumulating beliefs in spoken dialogue systems. The technique is based on updating a Bayesian Network that represents the underlying state...
We consider reinforcement learning as solving a Markov decision process with unknown transition distribution. Based on interaction with the environment, an estimate of the transit...
— An important problem in robotics is planning and selecting actions for goal-directed behavior in noisy uncertain environments. The problem is typically addressed within the fra...
