Empirical investigations on parallel competent genetic algorithms
This paper empirically investigates parallel competent genetic algorithms (cGAs) [4]. cGAs, such as BOA [21], LINCGA [15], D5 -GA [28], can solve GA-difficult problems by automati...

Utilization Filtering: A Method for Reducing the Inherent Harmfulness of Deductively Learned Knowledge
This paper highlights a phenomenon that causes deductively learned knowledge to be harmful when used for problem solving. The problem occurs when deductive problem solvers encount...

Evolutionary Learning Strategy using Bug-Based Search
We introduce a new approach to GA (Genetic Algorithms) based problem solving. Earlier GAs did not contain local search (i.e. hill climbing) mechanisms, which led to optimization d...

Perception and Experience in Problem Solving
Whilst much emphasis in AI has been placed on the use of goals in problem solving, less emphasis has been placed on the role of perception and experience. In this paper we show th...

Deciding to Remind During Collaborative Problem Solving: Empirical Evidence for Agent Strategies
Previous work suggests that reminding a conversational partner of mutually known information depends on the conversants' attentional state, their resource limits and the reso...

TRIPS: An Integrated Intelligent Problem-Solving Assistant
We discuss what constitutes an integrated system in AI, and why AI researchers should be interested in building and studying them. Taking integrated systems to be ones that integr...
