Planning with Problems Requiring Temporal Coordination
We present the first planner capable of reasoning with both the full semantics of PDDL2.1 (level 3) temporal planning and with numeric resources. Our planner, CRIKEY3, employs heu...

Terminological Reasoning in SHIQ with Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams
We present a new algorithm for reasoning in the description logic SHIQ, which is the most prominent fragment of the Web Ontology Language OWL. The algorithm is based on ordered bi...

Efficient Learning of Action Schemas and Web-Service Descriptions
This work addresses the problem of efficiently learning action schemas using a bounded number of samples (interactions with the environment). We consider schemas in two languages-...

Towards Faster Planning with Continuous Resources in Stochastic Domains
Agents often have to construct plans that obey resource limits for continuous resources whose consumption can only be characterized by probability distributions. While Markov Deci...

Approximability of Manipulating Elections
In this paper, we set up a framework to study approximation of manipulation, control, and bribery in elections. We show existence of approximation algorithms (even fully polynomia...

Economic Hierarchical Q-Learning
Hierarchical state decompositions address the curse-ofdimensionality in Q-learning methods for reinforcement learning (RL) but can suffer from suboptimality. In addressing this, w...
