Description

Plan recognition, activity recognition, and intent recognition together combine and unify techniques from user modeling, machine vision, intelligent user interfaces, human/computer interaction, autonomous and multi-agent systems, natural language understanding, and machine learning.

Plan, Activity, and Intent Recognition

explains the crucial role of these techniques in a wide variety of applications including:

  • personal agent assistants
  • computer and network security
  • opponent modeling in games and simulation systems
  • coordination in robots and software agents
  • web e-commerce and collaborative filtering
  • dialog modeling
  • video surveillance
  • smart homes

follow the history of this research area and witness exciting new developments in the field made possible by improved sensors, increased computational power, and new application areas.

  • Combines basic theory on algorithms for plan/activity recognition along with results from recent workshops and seminars
  • Explains how to interpret and recognize plans and activities from sensor data
  • Provides valuable background knowledge and assembles key concepts into one guide for researchers or students studying these disciplines
