Assistance to people suffering from cognitive deficiencies in a smart home raises complex issues. Plan recognition is one of them. We propose a formal framework for the recognition...

Abstract. Causal modeling, such as noisy-OR, reduces probability parameters to be acquired in constructing a Bayesian network. Multiple causes can reinforce each other in producing...
This paper studies the problem of classification by using a concept lattice as a search space of classification rules. The left hand side of a classification rule is composed by a ...
Stochastic local search (SLS) methods are underlying some of the best-performing algorithms for certain types of SAT instances, both from an empirical as well as from a theoretical...
The paper shows how to construct language patterns that signal influence strategies and tactical moves corresponding to such strategies. We apply corpus analysis methods to the ext...
So far, most equilibrium concepts in game theory require that the rewards and actions of the other agents are known and/or observed by all agents. However, in real life problems, a...
We are interested in contributing to solving effectively a particular type of real-time stochastic resource allocation problem. Firstly, one distinction is that certain tasks may c...
Real world multiagent coordination problems are important issues for reinforcement learning techniques. In general, these problems are partially observable and this characteristic ...
We propose a representation for musical chords that allows us to include domain knowledge in probabilistic models. We then introduce a graphical model for harmonization of melodies...
In this paper, we propose a named-entity recognition (NER) system that addresses two major limitations frequently discussed in the field. First, the system requires no human interv...
