Intelligent agents often need to assess user utility functions in order to make decisions on their behalf, or predict their behavior. When uncertainty exists over the precise natu...
Adaptive sparse coding methods learn a possibly overcomplete set of basis functions, such that natural image patches can be reconstructed by linearly combining a small subset of t...
We discuss the tensions between intensionality and extensionality of spatial observations in distributed systems, showing that there are natural models where extensional observati...
The use of software agents for automatic contract negotiation in e-commerce and e-trading ents has been the subject of considerable recent interest. A widely studied abstract mode...
