Colloquium: Changing the world: Arguments, Plans and Preferences, Yannis Dimopoulos (University of Cyprus, Cyprus), Monday, October 2, 2017, 10:00-11:00 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Changing the world: Arguments, Plans and Preferences
 |
Speaker: Yannis Dimopoulos |
Abstract:
At a high level, intelligent agents operate in a dynamic environment
which they constantly seek to bring to a desirable state. To achieve this,
they employ a variety of techniques that allows them to choose
among different alternatives, as well as decide the course of action that
brings about the desired state.
In this talk, we review recent work in various topics pertaining
to the above problems. We start with a discussion of argumentation and
its use in automated negotiation. Then we present results
on encoding planning as a boolean constraint satisfaction problem,
followed by a brief discussion of preference learning.
We conclude with a glimpse at our current work.
