Job Description
Thesis Subject
Coming up with plans to achieve their goals - and more generally deciding and learning how to act - are fundamental problems for intelligent agents. The traditional focus of AI planning is the generation of plans for an individual agent under the hypothesis that no other agent intervenes and that the planning agent has perfect knowledge of the environment and action pre- and postconditions. More expressive forms of planning should include things such as reasoning about other agents' beliefs, goals, intentions and actions ('theory of mind'); learning from past experiences; monitoring the actual outcome of actions and learning possibly unexpected outcomes and dealing with such new outcomes.
Applicants should propose a short research project related to these themes (max. 1 page).
The candidate will work on the conceptual and formal bases of the planning formalism. They will participate in the research activities of the AI department in particular through the presentation of their results in national and international conferences as well as in the department seminar.
We are looking for a candidate with a background in knowledge representation and/or machine learning who is interested in their integration in the context of planning.
