AAAI 2002 Fall Symposium Series Reports

AI Magazine

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence held its 2001 Fall Symposium Series November 2-4, 2001 at the Sea Crest Conference Center in North Falmouth, Massachusetts. The topics of the five symposia in the 2001 Fall Symposia Series were (1) Anchoring Symbols to Sensor Data in Single and Multiple Robot Systems, (2) Emotional and Intelligent II: The Tangled Knot of Social Cognition, (3) Intent Inference for Collaborative Tasks, (4) Negotiation Methods for Autonomous Cooperative Systems, and (5) Using Uncertainty within Computation. This article contains brief reports of those five symposia.


Editorial Introduction: The Fourteenth Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference (IAAI-2001)

AI Magazine

The Thirteenth Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference (IAAI-2001) was held on 7 to 9 August 2001 in Seattle, Washington, in conjunction with the Seventeenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. As in past years, papers were solicited in two categories: (1) deployed applications and (2) emerging applications and technologies. Deployed applications are systems that have been in use for at least several months by individuals or organizations other than their developers, have measurable benefits, and incorporate AI technologies. Emerging applications are technologies and systems that are close to deployment and clearly show an innovative implementation of AI technologies. All these case studies are of value not only to other application developers looking for guidance in applying various techniques to their own applications but also to researchers who need to understand the myriad of technical challenges provided by real-world problems.






Case-Based Reasoning Integrations

AI Magazine

This article presents an overview and survey of current work in case-based reasoning (CBR) integrations. There has been a recent upsurge in the integration of CBR with other reasoning modalities and computing paradigms, especially rule-based reasoning (RBR) and constraint-satisfaction problem (CSP) solving. CBR integrations with modelbased reasoning (MBR), genetic algorithms, and information retrieval are also discussed. This article characterizes the types of multimodal reasoning integrations where CBR can play a role, identifies the types of roles that CBR components can fulfill, and provides examples of integrated CBR systems.


Abduction, Reason, and Science: A Review

AI Magazine

As a result, they knowledge of an agent (that is, its epistemic coarse-grained level of abstraction, KBwould argue, it is not possible to discuss state) can be characterized as the Ss can be characterized in terms of two the knowledge of a system independently collection of all possible worlds that components: (1) a knowledge base, encoding of the task context in which are consistent with the knowledge the knowledge embodied by the system is meant to operate. I won't held by the agent. If the knowledge of the system, and (2) a reasoning engine, go into too many details here because the agent is complete, then the epistemic which is able to query the knowledge a detailed discussion of the declarative state contains only one world. A base, infer or acquire knowledge from versus the procedural argument is well nice feature of Levesque and Lakemeyer's external sources, and add new knowledge beyond the scope of this review. The treatment of epistemic logic is that to the knowledge base. Levesque important point to make is that in contrast to many other treatments and Lakemeyer's The Logic of Knowledge Levesque and Lakemeyer's approach is of modalities, the discussion is reasonably Bases deals with the "internal logic" of situated in a precise AI research easy to follow for people who are a KBS: It provides a formal account of paradigm, which considers knowledge not experts in the field. This is the result the interaction between a reasoning bases as declaratively specified, task-independent of two main features of this analysis: engine and a knowledge base.
