At my dissertation defense, I presented Planning and Recognition Together Close the Interaction Loop (PReTCIL) as one of the first ways to integrate algorithms from artificial intelligence (AI) planning and plan, activity, and intent recognition into a single method for adaptive closed-loop interaction in autonomous systems. Despite PReTCIL working out...

In Nov 2022 OpenAI released the new ChatGPT language model, taking the world by storm with it. Today, we are flooded by tweets and articles claiming ChatGPT is reaching human-level performance in many tasks. But what tasks? Is ChatGPT ready to assist (or replace) humans?

Abstract: This work studies the collective action problem: identifying and implementing mechanisms that allow members of a community to coordinate their actions in order to achieve a social, rather than individual, benefit. Rather than applying the traditional tools of game theory, we are investigating how maintaining explicit social knowledge encoded in...

What are the decision making processes by which humans choose words to achieve goals in their environment? Can we replicate them in a computer system? These are the core questions of grounded dialogue modelling, the study of interactive language use in context. We will start by looking at a few...

A session to present how organisations with their in-built challenges need to be carefully managed to accept the inevitably of AI systems in their daily work processes.   Examples will be shared of real world scenarios and where AI is already adding value and what the future could look like as...

Research Software is key to understand, reproduce and reuse existing work in many disciplines, ranging from Geosciences to Astronomy or Artificial Intelligence. However, research software is usually difficult to find, reuse, compare and understand due to its disconnected documentation (dispersed in manuals, readme files, web sites, and code comments) and...
