We propose a probabilistic model, based on Markov Logic Networks, that aims at associating the individual tracks emerging from a person tracking algorithm to the correct persons. For this purpose the continuous estimates of the object positions acquired by the tracking algorithm are mapped into discrete spatial regions, which are based on a floor plan of the environment. Experiments show that the described model is able to exploit the additional information contained inside the provided floor plan, and deliver good results compared to a state of the art person tracking algorithm despite the lossy discretization step. We discuss the engineered model in detail and give an empirical evaluation using an indoor setting.","PeriodicalId":155588,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 24th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127096964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arc consistency (AC) is the most often used filtering technique because it cheaply removes some values that cannot belong to any solutions. Comparing with AC, max-Restricted Path Consistency (maxRPC) has a stronger pruning power while it is not suited for use during search because of the prohibitive time cost. Thus, light maxRPC which is the light version of maxRPC was proposed. Comparing with maxRPC, it has a lower time cost and the search algorithm maintaining light maxRPC (MlmaxRPC) can outperform the search algorithm maintaining AC (MAC) on some problems. However, MlmaxRPC suffers from the time waste in the cases that applying a stricter checking standard does not intrigue any value deletion. In order to avoid the time waste in MlmaxRPC, in this paper, partial maxRPC which is a new approximation of maxRPC is proposed. It only applies the stricter checking standard when the value deletion is of high possibility. MpmaxRPC which is the search algorithm maintaining partial maxRPC has a better average performance than MAC and MlmaxRPC.","PeriodicalId":155588,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 24th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117335554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The standard approach for checking consistency is based on an exhaustive representation of possible configurations between three entities, the so-called composition tables. These tables, however, encode semantic background knowledge in a redundant way, which becomes a size and efficiency issue, when the composition table needs to be grounded as done in SAT encodings of problem instances. % In this paper, we present a new framework that allows for decomposing composition tables into logically simpler parts, while preserving logical equivalence, e.g., the decomposition in start- and end-points for Allen's Interval Calculus. We show that finding such decompositions is an NP-complete problem and present a SAT-based method to generate decompositions. Finally, we discuss the impact of our decomposition method on SAT encodings of problem instances, and present a reasoning system built on decompositions that compares favorably with state-of-the-art solvers.","PeriodicalId":155588,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 24th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130640360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, instead of using forward checking as a filtering property, we propose to maintain arc consistency asynchronously (MACA). The first algorithm we propose, MACA-del, enforces arc consistency thanks to an additional type of messages, deletion messages. The second algorithm, MACA-not, achieves arc consistency without any new type of message. We provide a theoretical analysis and an experimental evaluation of the proposed approach.

The weights of the MLPs are updated by Temporal Differences (TD). The search for the best move is conducted by a search algorithm based on Alpha-Beta pruning, Iterative Deepening and Table Transposition. One of the agents is trained in such a way that it becomes an expert in the initial stages of play and the remaining (25), in endgame stages. The endgame boards used to train the endgame agents are retrieved from an endgame board database and clustered by a Kohonem-SOM Neural Network (NN). The same Kohonem-SOM NN will also be used during the games to select which endgame agent is more suitable to play each time the endgame stage of play is reached. In this paper the authors propose the following modifications to improve the performance of MP-Draughts: first, to change the mapping of the board states such that, instead of indicating the presence or not of certain features, it indicates the number of elements pointed out by each feature, second, to order the search tree of each agent in such a way as to attenuate the innumerous re-evaluations of the same board state inherent to the iterative deepening strategy.","PeriodicalId":155588,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 24th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115156350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
