A short summary of each robot demonstrates the variety in form and function among the exhibitions. Programming a robot is often a complex and Intelligence (AAAI) Mobile Robot involved task. By allowing the robot to learn and wide variety in behavior and form, the robots practice behaviors at run time, Darrin Bentivegna in the exhibition created a sense of the broad aims to create robots that can learn range of function in the robotic community. The exhibition has involving air hockey against a humanoid provided past AI researchers with new perspectives robot. After a human has specified some primitives and ideas.

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.

This first part covers mathematical that teachers will find useful.

The long-term future of space exploration at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is dependent on the full exploitation of autonomous and adaptive systems, but mission managers are worried about the reliability of these more intelligent systems. The main focus of the workshop was to address these worries; hence, we invited NASA engineers working on autonomous and adaptive systems and researchers interested in the verification and validation of software systems. The dual purpose of the meeting was to (1) make NASA engineers aware of the verification and validation techniques they could be using and (2) make the verification and validation community aware of the complexity of the systems NASA is developing. The workshop was held 5 to 7 December 2000 at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California.

This article presents a learning agent shell and methodology for building knowledge bases and agents and their innovative application to the development of a critiquing agent for military courses of action, a challenge problem set by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's High-Performance Knowledge Bases Program. The learning agent shell includes a general problem-solving engine and a general learning engine for a generic knowledge base structured into two main components: (1) an ontology that defines the concepts from an application domain and (2) a set of task-reduction rules expressed with these concepts. The development of the critiquing agent was done by importing ontological knowledge from cyc and teaching the agent how an expert performs the critiquing task. The learning agent shell, the methodology, and the developed critiquer were evaluated in several intensive studies, demonstrating good results.

LifeCode is a natural language processing (NLP) and expert system that extracts demographic and clinical information from free-text clinical records. The LifeCode NLP engine uses a large number of specialist readers whose particular output are combined at various levels to form an integrated picture of the patient's medical condition(s), course of treatment, and disposition. The LifeCode expert system performs the tasks of combining complementary information, deleting redundant information, assessing the level of medical risk and level of service represented in the clinical record, and producing an output that is appropriate for input to an electronic medical record (EMR) system or a hospital information system. The LifeCode NLP and expert systems reside in various delivery packages, including online transaction processing, a web browser interface, and an automated speech recognition (ASR) interface.

The SciFinance software synthesis system, licensed to major investment banks, automates programming for financial risk-management activities -- from algorithms research to production pricing to risk control. SciFinance's high-level, extensible specification language, aspen, lets quantitative analysts generate code from concise model descriptions written in application-specific and mathematical terminology; typically, a page or less produces thousands of lines of c. aspen's abstractions help analysts focus on their primary tasks -- model description, validation, and analysis -- rather than on programming details. Compared with manual programming, automation produces codes that are more sophisticated, accurate, and consistent. The shared knowledge base is used by the specification checker, synthesis system, and information portal.
