Classical Planning in Deep Latent Space
Current domain-independent, classical planners require symbolic models of the
problem domain and instance as input, resulting in a knowledge acquisition
bottleneck. Meanwhile, although deep learning has achieved significant success
in many fields, the knowledge is encoded in a subsymbolic representation which
is incompatible with symbolic systems such as planners. We propose Latplan, an
unsupervised architecture combining deep learning and classical planning. Given
only an unlabeled set of image pairs showing a subset of transitions allowed in
the environment (training inputs), Latplan learns a complete propositional PDDL
action model of the environment. Later, when a pair of images representing the
initial and the goal states (planning inputs) is given, Latplan finds a plan to
the goal state in a symbolic latent space and returns a visualized plan
execution. We evaluate Latplan using image-based versions of 6 planning
domains: 8-puzzle, 15-Puzzle, Blocksworld, Sokoban and Two variations of
LightsOut.Comment: Under review at Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR
Activity, context, and plan recognition with computational causal behavior models
Objective of this thesis is to answer the question "how to achieve efficient sensor-based reconstruction of causal structures of human behaviour in order to provide assistance?". To answer this question, the concept of Computational Causal Behaviour Models (CCBMs) is introduced. CCBM allows the specification of human behaviour by means of preconditions and effects and employs Bayesian filtering techniques to reconstruct action sequences from noisy and ambiguous sensor data. Furthermore, a novel approximative inference algorithm – the Marginal Filter – is introduced
