Interactive Knowledge Capture
We have worked on a variety of topics and projects in this area.
You can see a
recent slide overview of all of our research on interactive
knowledge capture
that I prepared for an invited talk.
Our current focus is on
knowledge
collection from volunteers and on
learning procedural
knowledge from tutorial instruction.
Some of the topics and projects that we have worked on over the years include:
- Knowledge acquisition:
knowledge collection from volunteers,
knowledge acquisition dialogues, learning from being told,
learning from demonstration and from examples.
Projects in this area include
TellMe,
Shortipedia,
Workflow Design,
Learner,
CAT,
KANAL,
Maven,
SLICK,
and
EXPECT.
- Interactive intelligent systems:
user-centered decision aids,
assistance with to-do lists,
mixed-initiative tools,
knowledge-based systems.
Projects include
Beamer,
Wings,
CAT,
Temple,
and
EXPECT.
- Mixed-Initiative Planning:
plan evaluation and critiquing,
human-in-the-loop planning,
plan ontologies and representations,
planning with incomplete information.
Projects include
CAT,
KANAL,
EXPECT,
PLANET,
INSPECT,
and
PRODIGY.
- Distributed problem solving:
agent communication,
agentizing people,
agent environments to support
human organizations,
workflow management for distributed problem solving,
intelligent middleware for Grid computing.
Projects include
Beamer,
Electric Elves,
