My thesis aims to contribute towards building autonomous agents that are able to understand their surrounding environment through the use of both audio and visual information. To ...
Distributed Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (DisPOMDPs) are emerging as a popular approach for modeling sequential decision making in teams operating under uncertain...
We propose a general framework for multi-context reasoning which allows us to combine arbitrary monotonic and nonmonotonic logics. Nonmonotonic bridge rules are used to specify th...
: Although avatars may resemble communicative interface agents, they have for the most part not profited from recent research into autonomous embodied conversational systems. In pa...
Learning, planning, and representing knowledge in large state t multiple levels of temporal abstraction are key, long-standing challenges for building flexible autonomous agents. ...
