Subject: Thesis Proposal: Approach for Flexible Reuse of Plans
An Approach for Flexible Reuse of Plans
(Ph.D. Dissertation Proposal)
Subbarao Kambhampati
Department of Computer Science
University of Maryland
College Park MD 20742
May 31, 1988
Abstract
The value of enabling a planning system to remember the
plans it generates for later use was acknowledged early in
planning research. The systems developed, however, were very
inflexible as the reuse was primarily based on simple stra-
tegies of generalization via variablization and later unifi-
cation. We propose an approach for flexible reuse of old
plans in the presence of a generative planner. In our
approach the planner leaves information relevant to the
reuse process in the form of annotations on every generated
plan. To reuse an old plan in solving a new problem, the
old plan along with its annotations is mapped into the new
problem. A process of annotation verification is used to
locate applicability failures and suggest refitting stra-
tegies. The planner is then called upon to carry out the
suggested modifications-to produce an executable plan for
the new problem. This integrated approach obviates the need
for any extra domain knowledge (other than that already
known to the planner) during reuse and thus affords a rela-
tively domain independent framework for plan reuse. We will
describe the realization of this approach in two disparate
domains (blocks world and process planning for automated
manufacturing) and propose extensions to the reuse frame-
work to overcome observed limitations. We believe that our
approach for plan reuse can be profitably employed by gen-
erative planners in many applied domains.

AI SEMINAR
UNISYS PAOLI RESEARCH CENTER
Defining the Semantics of Verbal Modifiers
in the Domain of Cooking Tasks
Robin F. Karlin
Computer and Information Science
University of Pennsylvania
SEAFACT (Semantic Analysis For the Animation of Cooking Tasks) is a
natural language interface to a computer-generated animation system
operating in the domain of cooking tasks. SEAFACT allows the user to
specify cooking tasks using a small subset of English. The system
analyzes English input and produces a representation of the task which
can drive motion synthesis procedures. This talk describes the
semantic analysis of verbal modifiers on which the SEAFACT
implementation is based.

TUTORIAL DESCRIPTIONS
CONTEMPORARY SYNTACTIC THEORIES
Peter Sells, University of California, Santa Cruz
This tutorial will examine some recent developments in theoretical syntax
centered in, or stemming from, work in Government-Binding Theory, Generalized
Phrase Structure Grammar, and Lexical-Functional Grammar. I will try to
explain the linguistic motivations for the proposals I will discuss, and also
convergences among the theories. Little in the way of background will be
assumed, beyond a rudimentary knowledge of phrase structure grammars and basic
transformational mechanisms (movement, deletion, etc.).
TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Martha Palmer, Lynette Hirschman, and Deborah Dahl, Paoli Research Center,
Unisys Defense Systems
This tutorial will cover issues in text processing, focusing on the current
state-of-the-art in text processing, the applications of text processing,
the architecture of a text-processing system (using the Unisys PUNDIT system
as an example), issues of portability and extensibility, and issues relating
to large-scale computational linguistics projects. The section on system
architecture will describe a modular architecture, with components that handle
syntax, semantics and pragmatics, emphasizing the importance of segregating
domain-specific and domain-independent data. We will then discuss, in the
context of recent experiences with the PUNDIT system, the issue of portability
across domains and the tools that support bringing up an application in a new
domain. We will also look at the problems associated with building a large
natural language processing system: how to integrate people with a variety of
backgrounds (computer science, linguistics), how to manage and maintain a
large system, and how to do development in multiple domains simultaneously.
We will conclude with a survey of text-processing systems, comparing their
strengths and weaknesses as related to their particular goals.
NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION
David McDonald, Brattle Research Corporation
This tutorial will take participants through the workings of a complete, albeit
very simple, generation system from the underlying conceptual representation to
the surface morphology. This mini-system, which uses a ``direct replacement''
algorithm, would be quite satisfactory for the demands of most present expert
systems; its weaknesses will be used to motivate the research that is going on
in generation today. The major themes of that research will be surveyed,
concentrating on the rationales behind the adoption of specific frameworks,
such as systemic, unification, or tree adjoining grammar. Illustrations will
be taken from current and historically important systems. Emphasis will be on
generation as a planning and construction process which has markedly different
concerns and issues from language understanding, and on how this has led to
the approaches generation researchers are taking today.
Efficient Parsing Algorithms
Masaru Tomita, Carnegie-Mellon University
Parsing efficiency is crucial when building practical natural language systems.
This is especially the case for interactive applications such as natural
language database access, interfaces to expert systems and interactive machine
translation. This tutorial covers several efficient context-free parsing
algorithms, including chart parsing, Earley's algorithm, LR parsing and the
generalized LR algorithm. Augmentation to the context-free parsing algorithms
is also discussed, to handle unification-based grammar formalisms such as
Lexical-Functional Grammar, Functional Unification Grammar, and Generalized
Phrase Structure Grammar.

Subject: CMU/CMT Conference Brochure
Second International Conference on Theoretical and
Methodological Issues in Machine Translation of Natural Languages
June 12 - 14, 1988
Hamburg Hall
Center for Machine Translation
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213
*** Purpose ***
The field of Machine Translation (MT) has gradually regained its
importance as an academic discipline and an engineering application. The
number of research teams in MT has grown significantly over the past five
years, and correspondingly, the rate of progress, measured both in the
scientific output and the technological innovation has become increasingly
steep. The requirements for information exchange in the field have grown
accordingly. The conference is aimed at fulfilling that requirement for
information exchange.
*** Topics of the Conference ***
The conference will cover a wide set of interrelated topics in machine
translation including: parsing, generation, computational lexicons, multiple
approaches to translation (knowledge-based, interactive, post and pre-editing,
etc...), theoretical and comparative analysis, case studies, computational
tools for the system developer or translator, and new algorithms and
architectures for natural language processing.
*** Center for Machine Translation ***
The Center for Machine Translation was established at Carnegie Mellon
University in July 1986. The center is dedicated to the development of a
new generation of machine translation systems with capabilities ranging
far beyond the current technology. Current research initiatives include:
knowledge-based machine translation, knowledge representation and
acquisition, unification algorithms, multilingual parsing algorithms,
fluent text generation and development of computational lexicons,
grammars and knowledge bases.
