Research

I do artificial intelligence research at the University of Washington. My research, like much of the AI group here, falls into two categories: planning and software agents.

Planning

I built a solver called FABIAN for the classical planning problem. FABIAN extends the notion of least commitment to the choice of which action to add to establish a subgoal. FABIAN reasons about the common properties of sets of possible single actions that can solve a subgoal.

Agents

I am working with Cody Kwok and Dan Weld on an information gathering agent called Occam. Cody has written a paper on that.
