Reasoning about What to Plan
نویسنده
چکیده
Agents plan in order to improve their performance. However, planning takes time and consumes resources that may in fact degrade an agents performance. Ideally, an agent should only plan when the expected improvement outweighs the expected cost and no resources should be expended on making this decision. To do this, an agent would have to be omniscient. The problem of how to approximate this ideal, without consuming too many resources in the process, is the meta-level control problem for a resource bounded rational agent.

Argumentation-based Normative Practical Reasoning
Reasoning about what is best for an agent to do in a particular situation is a challenging task. What makes it even more challenging in a dynamic environment is the existence of norms that aim to regulate a self-interested agent’s behaviour. Practical reasoning is reasoning about what to do in a given situation, particularly in the presence of conflicts between the agent’s practical attitude su...
متن کاملModels of clinical reasoning with a focus on general practice: a critical review
Introduction: Diagnosis lies at the heart of general practice.Every day general practitioners (GPs) visit patients with awide variety of complaints and concerns, with often minor butsometimes serious symptoms. General practice has many featureswhich differentiate it from specialty care setting, but during thelast four decades little attention was paid to clinical reasoningin general practice. T...
متن کاملMeeting plan recognition requirements for real-time air-mission simulations
In this paper, the potential synergy between instancebased pattern recognition and means-end (possible world) reasoning is explored, for supporting plan recognition in multi-aeroplane air-mission simulations. A combination of graph matching, induction, probabilistic principles and dynamic programming are applied to traces of aeroplane behaviour during flight manoeuvres. These satisfy the real-t...
متن کاملReasoning About Knowledge in Artificial Intelligence
SUMMARY This talk looks at work on reasoning about knowledge within what might be termed "ciassical" AI. That is, it is assumed that the information contained in an intelligent system is for the most part embodied in data structures that explicitly represent the propositions that the system knows or believes, and that queries to this "knowledge base" are handled by applying inference rules in a...
متن کاملWhat definition of information would be emancipatory one?
Background and Aim: Human-information interaction, either in every day life or in research approaches, depends on pre-assumptions about “what information is”. Sometimes this pre-assumptions become axiomtic in a way that we must return to primary concerns about them to explore new social phenomenas. Information as an object is one of pre-assumptions. In this paper, the mentioned pre-assumptions ...
متن کاملNormative Practical Reasoning: An Argumentation-Based Approach
Autonomous agents operating in a dynamic environment must be able to reason and make decisions about actions in pursuit of their goals. In addition, in a normative environment an agent’s actions are not only directed by the agent’s goals, but also by the norms imposed on the agent. Practical reasoning is reasoning about what to do in a given situation, particularly in the presence of conflicts ...
