Toward Richer Models of Experience

Learning form-meaning mappings for language

The proposed thesis research addresses two of the main obstacles to building agents that communicate using natural language: the need for richer representations of linguistic constructions that incorporate aspects of conceptual knowledge, context and goals; and the need for a principled approach to the automatic acquisition of such structures from examples. More generally, it explores the idea ...

Scaling Decision Theoretic Planning

As classical planning branches out to consider richer models, many extensions approach decision theoretic models. Decision theory research uses models like MDPs and POMDPs which are very expressive, but can be difficult to scale. Whereas, planning research concentrates quite a bit on scalability. Our previous work and future doctoral thesis concentrates on extending the planning model toward pr...

Internalization of the Groupoid Interpretation of Type Theory

Homotopical interpretations of Martin-Löf type theory lead toward an interpretation of equality as a richer, more extensional notion. Extensional or axiomatic presentations of the theory with principles based on such models do not yet fully benefit from the power of dependent type theory, that is its computational character. Reconciling intensional type theory with this richer notion of equalit...
