Fully Observable Non-Deterministic (FOND) planning is a variant of classical symbolic planning in which actions are nondeterministic, with an action's outcome known only upon execution. It is a popular planning paradigm with applications ranging from robot planning to dialogue-agent design and react…
Domain-independent dynamic programming (DIDP), a model-based paradigm based on dynamic programming, has shown promising performance on multiple combinatorial optimization problems compared with mixed integer programming (MIP) and constraint programming (CP). The current DIDP solvers are based on heu…
Schedules define how resources process jobs in diverse domains, reaching from healthcare to transportation, and, therefore, denote a valuable starting point for analysis of the underlying system. However, publishing a schedule may disclose private information on the considered jobs. In this paper, w…
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) entitle individuals to explanations for automated decisions. The form, comprehensibility, and even existence of such explanations remain open problems, investigated as part of explainable AI. We adopt the approach of counterfactual explanations and appl…
We study a range-constrained variant of the multi-UAV target search problem where commercially available UAVs are used for target search in tandem with ground-based mobile recharging vehicles (MRVs) that can travel, via the road network, to meet up with and recharge a UAV. We propose a pipeline for
