Answer typing is an important aspect of the question answering process. Most commonly addressed with the use of a fixed set of possible answer classes via question classification, answer typing influences which answers will ultimately be selected as correct. Answer typing introduces the concept...

We investigate the use of machine learning to create effective heuristics for single-agent search. Our method aims to generate a sequence of heuristics from a given weak heuristic h{0} and a set of unlabeled training instances using a bootstrapping procedure. The training instances that can be...

This research focuses on developing AI agents that play arbitrary Atari 2600 console games without having any game-specific assumptions or prior knowledge. Two main approaches are considered: reinforcement learning based methods and search based methods. The RL-based methods use feature vectors...

The Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm Upper Confidence bounds applied to Trees (UCT) has become extremely popular in computer games research. Because of the importance of this family of algorithms, a deeper understanding of when and how their different enhancements work is desirable. To...

Pinball is fast-paced arcade-style game of which the origins date back hundreds of years. Game playing robots exist for billiards, foosball, and soccer and each have their own unique challenges. The speed that balls move in pinball machines requires that players have quick reactions. We created...

The earthwork operations for reclamation add challenges and complications to common earthworks schedule and aspects such as placement locations and hauling routes…etc. The reclamation earthworks require that the soil layers structure before disturbing the land must remain the same after...

Automated sports commentary is a form of automated narrative and human-computer interaction. Sports commentary exists to keep the viewer informed and entertained. One way to entertain the viewer is by telling brief stories relevant to the game in progress. We introduce a system called the...

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) measures the dynamic activity of each voxel of a brain. This dissertation addresses the challenge of learning a diagnostic classifier that uses a subject’s fMRI data to distinguish subjects with neuropsychiatric disorders from healthy controls. fMRI...

Given nothing but the generative model of the environment, Monte Carlo Tree Search techniques have recently shown spectacular results on domains previously thought to be intractable. In this thesis we try to develop generic techniques for temporal abstraction inside MCTS that would allow the...

Scaffolds are temporary structures that are built to support workers and materials and facilitate direct work on construction sites. A considerable amount of man power resources are consumed by industrial construction scaffolding, which makes effective planning and estimation of the same very...
