Advisor: Prof. Bart Selman For my thesis research, I worked on automatically
acquiring domain-dependent control knowledge for planning by machine learning
techniques. I first introduced a new heuristic method for generating training
examples that together with a rule induction algorithm can learn useful
control rules in a variety of domains. The system reports the first positive
results on learning for practical planning. Solution times can be reduced by
two orders of magnitude or more on large problems, training time are short,
and the learned control rules can be exported to other planning systems. |

As a summer intern at AT&T Lab, I implemented the
PDDL parser for the Blackbox planner, integrated
real-sat, satz, and chaff SAT solvers into the Blackbox, and maintain the sources to the present. http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/kautz/blackbox/ |
