We use case-injected genetic algorithms for learning how to competently play computer strategy games. Case-injected genetic algorithms combine genetic algorithm search with a case-based memory of past problem solving attempts to improve performance on subsequent similar problems. The case-injected genetic algorithm improves performance on later problems in the sequence by learning from cases re...

We examine new ways to perform plan recognition (PR) using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. PR often focuses on the structural relationships between consecutive observations and ordered activities that comprise plans. However, NLP commonly treats text as a bag-of-words, omitting such structural relationships and using topic models to break down the distribution of concepts discusse...

An empirical study was conducted to analyse design strategies and knowledge used in object-oriented software design. Eight professional programmers experienced with procedural programming languages and either experienced or not experienced in objectoriented programming participated in this experiment. They were asked to design a program for a procedural problem and a declarative problem. We hav...
