Knowledge representation and interactive learning of domain knowledge for human-robot interaction
Mohan Sridharan,Benjamin Meadows +1 more
- 01 Dec 2018
TL;DR: Answer Set Prolog, a declarative language, is used to represent and reason with incomplete commonsense knowledge about the domain, which guides the interactive learning of relations that represent actions, and of axioms that encode affordances and action preconditions and effects.

An Abductive Approach to Understanding Social Interactions
Benjamin Meadows,Pat Langley,Miranda Emery +2 more
- 01 Jan 2014
TL;DR: A computational approach to key aspects of understanding social interactions that require inference about agents’ mental states from their behavior is presented and how this approach to social cognition is informed by earlier research in the area is discussed.

Integrating Meta-Level and Domain-Level Knowledge for Interpretation and Generation of Task-Oriented Dialogue
Alfredo Gabaldon,Pat Langley,Benjamin Meadows +2 more
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: A representational framework is proposed that distinguishes between meta-level and domain-independent content, along with an integrated architecture that supports their use for abductive interpretation and hierarchical skill execution and discusses promising directions for future research.
Understanding Social Interactions Using Incremental Abductive Inference
Benjamin Meadows,Pat Langley,Miranda Emery +2 more
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: A computational approach to key aspects of understanding social interactions is presented, and earlier work on UMBRA, an abductive system for single-agent plan understanding, is reviewed and extensions that let it deal with multiagent scenarios are described.
Towards an Explanation Generation System for Robots: Analysis and Recommendations
TL;DR: This paper specifies three fundamental distinctions that can be used to characterize many existing explanation generation systems and compares the capabilities of two systems that differ substantially along these axes, using execution scenarios involving a robot waiter assisting in seating people and delivering orders in a restaurant.
