It is often desirable to extract structured information from raw web pages for better information browsing, query answering, and pattern mining. Many such Information Extraction (...
People tracking is a key technology for autonomous systems, intelligent cars and social robots operating in populated environments. What makes the task difficult is that the appea...

We carry out a comparative study of the expressive power of different ontologies of matter in terms of the ease with which simple physical knowledge can be represented. In particu...
Many problems require repeated inference on probabilistic graphical models, with different values for evidence variables or other changes. Examples of such problems include utilit...
The selection of the action to do next is one of the central problems faced by autonomous agents. In AI, three approaches have been used to address this problem: the programming-b...
This paper presents a novel recursive maximum a posteriori update for the Kalman formulation of undelayed bearing-only SLAM. The estimation update step is cast as an optimization ...
Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) involves partitioning a set of agents into coa...
It is well known that there cannot be a single "best" heuristic for optimal planning in general. One way of overcoming this is by combining admissible heuristics (e.g. b...
In many multiagent settings, a decision must be made based on the preferences of multiple agents, and agents may lie about their preferences if this is to their benefit. In mechan...
