Abstract: Plan Recognition algorithms require to recognize a complete hierarchy explaining the agent’s actions and goals. While the output of such algorithms is informative to the recognizer, the cost of its calculation is high in run-time, space, and completeness. Moreover, Continue reading
Abstract: Volunteer-based crowdsourcing depend critically on maintaining the engagement of participants. We explore a methodology for extending engagement in citizen science by combining machine learning with intervention design. We first present a platform for using real-time predictions about forthcoming disengagement Continue reading
Abstract: What is a fair way to assign rooms to several housemates, and divide the rent between them? This is not just a theoretical question: many people have used the Spliddit website to obtain envy-free solutions to rent division instances. Continue reading
Abstract: Researchers that study Human-Like computing mainly aim to understand how systems can emulate human cognitive performance. However, when Human-Like systems are designed for sharing economy applications in which humans have to collaborate in order to achieve a desired task, Continue reading
Abstract: Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is a promising approach whereby electric vehicles (EVs) are used to store excess electricity supply (e.g., from renewable sources), which is sold back to the grid in times of scarcity. In this paper we consider the setting Continue reading
