Learning Search Control Knowledge for Equational Deduction


Book Description

This thesis presents an approach to learning good search guiding heuristics for the supposition-based theorom prover E in equational deductions. Search decisions from successful proof searches are represented as sets annotated clause patterns. Term Space Mapping, an alternative learning method for recursive structures is used to learn heuristic evaluation functions for the evaluation of potential new consequences. Experimental results with extended system E/TSM show the success of the approach. Additional contributions of the thesis are an extended superposition calculus and a description of both the proof procedure and the implementation of a state-of-the-art equational theorem prover.

Action Based Collaboration Analysis for Group Learning


Book Description

Shared-workspace systems with structured graphical representations allow for the free user interaction and the joint construction of problem solutions for potentially open-ended tasks. However, group modelling in shared workspaces has to take on a process-orientated perspective due to the reduced system control in shared workspaces. This text is defined as the monitoring of user actions and the abstraction and interpretation of the raw data in the context of the group interaction and the problem representation. Formally based on plan recognition and the situation calculus, an approach has been developed that incorporates an operational hierarchy for generally modelling activities. The system performs an automatic inline analysis of group interactions and the results are visualized in different forms to give feedback and stimulating self-reflection.




ECAI 2020


Book Description

This book presents the proceedings of the 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020), held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, from 29 August to 8 September 2020. The conference was postponed from June, and much of it conducted online due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The conference is one of the principal occasions for researchers and practitioners of AI to meet and discuss the latest trends and challenges in all fields of AI and to demonstrate innovative applications and uses of advanced AI technology. The book also includes the proceedings of the 10th Conference on Prestigious Applications of Artificial Intelligence (PAIS 2020) held at the same time. A record number of more than 1,700 submissions was received for ECAI 2020, of which 1,443 were reviewed. Of these, 361 full-papers and 36 highlight papers were accepted (an acceptance rate of 25% for full-papers and 45% for highlight papers). The book is divided into three sections: ECAI full papers; ECAI highlight papers; and PAIS papers. The topics of these papers cover all aspects of AI, including Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems; Computational Intelligence; Constraints and Satisfiability; Games and Virtual Environments; Heuristic Search; Human Aspects in AI; Information Retrieval and Filtering; Knowledge Representation and Reasoning; Machine Learning; Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications; Natural Language Processing; Planning and Scheduling; Robotics; Safe, Explainable, and Trustworthy AI; Semantic Technologies; Uncertainty in AI; and Vision. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the use of AI technology.
