My research interests are on almost all aspects of Artificial Intelligence, most particularly in Automated
Planning and Learning, Reasoning under Uncertainty and Time, Social Decision Making, Semantic Web Services,
and Web-Based Social Networks.
NEWS: I am co-organizing the IJCAI-09 Workshop on Learning Structural
Knowledge from Observations. Here is the link to the workshop Web page.
NEWS: Our planning algorithm RFF (short for Robust-FF)
has won the
Fully-Observable Probabilistic Planning track of the
Sixth International Planning Competition, Uncertainty Track (IPC-6).
Please check the home page for RFF for more detailed information on our planner
and the competition results. Here is brief summary of RFF
and a picture of the award certificate that it has won in the
competition. We are going to provide a
detailed description of the planner and make its source code
available soon. Please check back in for this!
Here is a link to my publications. Some recent events that I was
involved in:
- ICAPS-08 International Probabilistic Planning Competition (IPPC 2008) -- a.k.a., International Planning Competition (IPC-6), Uncertainty Track.
- AAAI-08 AI Video Competition organized by David. W. Aha and Sebastian Thrun
- Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Planning and Learning in conjunction with ICAPS-07
- MIND Lab. Seminar Series: Reasoning and Planning under Uncertainty
Finally, some personal links. My biggest fun is my newborn (3 months old) daughter, Beliz and my wife Ferla. Here are some pictures of us. My digital photography and astronomy samples.
