A method to incorporate aircraft flight path intent information into a conflict detection and resolution system is described. The approach uses a set of probability density functions that describe potential trajectory errors such as cross-track, along-track, or course change, in a series of Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations are used to estimate the probability of conflict in traffic enco...

Program Synthesis, which is the task of discovering programs that realize user intent, can be useful in several scenarios: discovery of new algorithms, helping regular programmers automatically discover tricky/mundane programming details, enabling people with no programming background to develop scripts for performing repetitive tasks (end-user programming), and even problem solving in the cont...

Before an outstanding article in 1999 by Richard Holton, weakness of will was identified as an agent's action contrary to his or her better judgment, while other better choices are available. The contemporary account of weakness of will (i.e., Holton’s theory) explains it in terms of intention. Accordingly, weakness of will happens if an agent fails to stick to his or her previously formed inte...

The author has just written a book on the evolution of specialty Pediatric Cardiology over last 50 years [1]. intent this review is to present summary book. Because large amount material, separated into four parts. In first part, transcatheter interventions (balloon angioplasty/valvuloplasty procedures) will be appraised.

A wealth of scientific literature has been devoted to understanding what factors influence parents and their adolescent children to obtain the HPV vaccine. This literature is relatively uniform in its methodological approach of sampling individuals (i.e., either parents or adolescents) and examining the predictors of uptake for that individual. To improve understanding of HPV vaccination uptake...

In this paper, we develop an algorithm for intent inference via goal disambiguation with a shared-control assistive robotic arm. Assistive systems are often required to infer human intent and this often is a bottleneck for providing assistance quickly and accurately. We introduce the notion of inverse legibility in which the human-generated actions are legible enough for the robot to infer the ...

Various roles for operators in human-machine systems have been proposed. The proposed research hypothesizes that underlying all of these views is the law that operators perform best when given feedback of the same type as their intent. To test the hypothesis, operator performance with position control, rate control, and position control with the ghost arm will be measured to see if giving posit...
