Incorporating Helpful Behavior into Collaborative Planning
(Springer Verlag, 2009)
This paper considers the design of agent strategies for deciding whether to help other members of a group with whom an agent is engaged in a collaborative activity. Three characteristics of collaborative planning must be ...
Modeling User Perception of Interaction Opportunities for Effective Teamwork
(IEEE, 2009)
This paper presents a model of collaborative decision-making for groups that involve people and computer agents. The model distinguishes between actions relating to participantspsila commitment to the group and actions ...
Referring-expression generation using a transformation-based learning approach
(Assocation for the Advancement of Artifical Intelligence, 2006)
A natural language generation system must generate expressions that allow a reader to identify the entities to which they refer. This paper describes the creation of referring-expression (RE) generation models developed ...
Estimating Information Value in Collaborative Multi-Agent Planning Systems
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007)
This paper addresses the problem of identifying the value of information held by a teammate on a distributed, multi-agent team. It focuses on a distributed scheduling task in which computer agents support people who are ...
Timing Interruptions for Better Human-Computer Coordinated Planning
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), 2006)
The high operations tempo and growing complexity of planning (and re-planning) in various mission-critical domains suggest an approach in which systems act as primary planners rather than assisting the user in planning. ...
The Influence of Social Norms and Social Consciousness on Intention Reconciliation
(Elsevier, 2002)
Research on resource-bounded agents has established that rational agents need to be able to revise their commitments in light of new opportunities. In the context of collaborative activities, rational agents must be able ...
Incremental Negotiation and Coalition Formation for Resource-bounded Agents: Preliminary Report
(Assocation for the Advancement of Artifical Intelligence, 2002)
We explore a class of task allocation mechanisms that are incremental and can be tuned to the computational resource limitations of agents. Our focus is on distributed task and resource allocation problems involving ...
Sharing Experiences to Learn User Characteristics in Dynamic Environments with Sparse Data
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007)
This paper investigates the problem of estimating the value of probabilistic parameters needed for decision making in environments in which an agent, operating within a multi-agent system, has no a priori information about ...
Applying MDP Approaches for Estimating Outcome of Interaction in Collaborative Human-Computer Settings
(2007)
This paper investigates the problem of determining when a computer agent should interrupt a person with whom it is working collaboratively as part of a distributed, multi-agent team, which is operating in environments in ...
The Influence of Social Dependencies on Decision-Making: Initial Investigations with a New Game
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004)
This paper describes a new multi-player computer game, Colored Trails (CT), which may be played by people, computers and heterogeneous groups. CT was designed to enable investigation of properties of decision-making ...
