Researchers in the eld of Distributed Arti cial Intelligence (DAI) have been developing e cient mechanisms to coordinate the activities of multiple autonomous agents. The need for...
We describe a framework for robot navigation that exploits the continuity of image sequences. Tracked visual features both guide the robot and provide predictive information about...
It has recently been shown that local search is surprisingly good at nding satisfying assignments for certain computationally hard classes of CNF formulas. The performance of basi...
We apply decision tree induction to the problem of discourse clue word sense disambiguation. The automatic partitioning of the training set which is intrinsic to decision tree ind...
We propose novel gaze control algorithms for active perception in mobile autonomous agents with directable, foveated vision sensors. Our agents are realistic artificial animals, o...
Breiman's bagging and Freund and Schapire's boosting are recent methods for improving the predictive power of classi er learning systems. Both form a set of classi ers t...
Collaborations to accomplish common goals necessitate negotiation to share and reach agreement on the beliefs that agents hold as part of the collaboration. Negotiation in communi...
