KI-95: Advances in Artificial Intelligence: 19th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Bielefeld, Germany, September 11 - 13, 1995. Pro [Paperback]

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI-95, held in Bielefeld in September 1995.
The volume opens with full versions of four invited papers devoted to the topic From Intelligence Models to Intelligent Systems . The main part of the book consists of 17 refereed full papers carefully relected by the program committee; these papers are organized in sections on knowledge organization and optimization, logic and reasoning, nonmonotonicity, action and change, and spatial reasoning.Partially observable Markov decision processes for artificial intelligence.- Robust processing of natural language.- Distinction networks.- The problem of signal and symbol integration: A study of cooperative mobile autonomous agent behaviors.- An extension of explanation-based generalization to negation as failure.- Inducing integrity constraints from knowledge bases.- Dynamic structuring of lexical knowledge in a reusability scenario.- Efficient memory-limited graph search.- Quality-based terminological reasoning for concept learning.- Task acquisition with a description logic reasoner.- Parallelizing description logics.- Automated termination proofs with measure functions.- What is a skeptical proof?.- Default entailment.- Actions that make you change your mind.- Reasoning about action with typical and atypical effects.- Reasoning about action and change: Actions with abnormal effects.- Temporal logic based on characteristic functions.- Computational properties of qualitative spatial reasoning: First results.- An empirically validated model for computing spatial relations.- Integrating vision and language: Towards automatic description of human movements.
