There has been significant recent progress in reasoning and constraint processing methods. In areas such as planning and finite model-checking, current solution techniques can h...
Bayesian network models are widely used for discriminative prediction tasks such as classification. Usually their parameters are determined using 'unsupervised' methods ...
Opening up large amounts of loosely structured information for easy access and use is a complex problem. This paper describes two systems that address different aspects of the pro...
This paper proposes a dynamic model supporting multimodal state space probability distributions and presents the application of the model in dealing with visual occlusions when tr...
Utility elicitation is a critical function of any automated decision aid, allowing decisions to be tailored to the preferences of a specific user. However, the size and complexit...
This paper presents a new scenario recognition algorithm for Video Interpretation. We represent a scenario model by specifying the characters involved in the scenario, the sub-sce...
We overview the development of first-order automated reasoning systems starting from their early years. Based on the analysis of current and potential applications of such systems...
Relaxed plans are used in the heuristic search planner FF for computing a numerical heuristic and extracting helpful actions. We present a novel way for extracting information fro...
