Research
AI planning, with a focus on plan quality optimisation; optimisation and AI for decision support.
Student projects
Some potential student projects:
- Story planning: unlimiting creativity
- Optimal troubleshooting (and other tractable POMDPs)
- Efficient validation and presentation of policies for MDPs
These are mainly intended for undergraduate, honours and masters research projects, but some have the potential to be PhD topics.
I can also supervise a number of other projects related to AI planning.
Publications and resources

Nir, Dan, Christian and I have written a book on PDDL. There is also a much shorter tutorial on Writing Planning Domains and Problems in PDDL that I wrote a long time ago. |
