The ideas of dependency directed backtracking (DDB) and explanation based learning (EBL) have developed independently in constraint satisfaction, planning and problem solving comm...
Lifting can greatly reduce the cost of inference on firstorder probabilistic graphical models, but constructing the lifted network can itself be quite costly. In online applicatio...
In this paper, we exploit the problem of inferring images’ semantic concepts from community-contributed images and their associated noisy tags. To infer the concepts more accura...
We present a faster method of solving optimal planning problems and show that our solution performs up to an order of magnitude faster than Satplan on a variety of problems from t...
Narrative-centered learning environments offer significant potential for creating effective learning experiences in which students actively participate in engaging story-based prob...
