**GenPlan ‘20: AAAI 20 Workshop on Generalization in Planning****
***Call For Papers (CFP) ***
*
TL; DR: Please consider submitting your recent work and surveys of
recent results on generalization in planning by November 1st, 2019 at
https://sites.google.com/view/genplan20/. The workshop will be organized
as a part of AAAI-20 in New York, NY (Feb 7-12, 2020).
* WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Humans are good at solving sequential decision making problems,
generalizing from few examples, and transferring this knowledge to solve
new unseen problems. These problems remain longstanding open problems
for Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the last decade, the planning
community has improved the performance of automated planning systems to
solve decision making problems by including novel search techniques and
heuristics. On the other hand, the learning community has made major
breakthroughs in reinforcement learning techniques for solving planning
problems. However, industry level scalability and skill/task
generalization still remains an open challenge for current AI tools.
This workshop will feature a mix of invited talks, survey talks in a
highlights format, as well as presentations of submitted papers. We aim
to synthesize and highlight recent research on the topic from multiple
sub-fields of AI, including those of reinforcement learning, classical
planning, planning under uncertainty, as well as learning for planning.
At the end of the workshop we expect to come up with new insights and
topics to address the challenges of generalization in planning.
* TOPICS
Topics of interest to this workshop bring together research being
conducted in a range of areas, including classical planning, knowledge
engineering, partial policies and reinforcement learning, plan
verification, and model checking. Potential topics include but are not
limited to:
*
Learning and deriving generalized plans
*
Learning generalizable policies with reinforcement learning
*
Transfer learning of generalizable policies
*
Representation of generalizable solutions
*
Driving domain control knowledge and partial policies with planning
and learning
*
Program synthesis
*
Heuristics for plan and policy generalization
*
Generation and detection of good examples for planning and learning
*
Generalized planning for problems with partial observability and/or
noise
*
Learning models for generalizable planning
*
Model checking for generalization guarantees
* WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will feature multiple invited plenary and highlight talks
as well as presentations of submitted technical and position papers. It
will also include discussion sessions tuned to the topics presented at
the workshop. It is scheduled for one-day.
* CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS
We are glad to announce GenPlan ‘20 invited speakers, Hector Geffner
<https://www.dtic.upf.edu/~hgeffner/>and Leslie Kaelbling
<https://people.csail.mit.edu/lpk/>(talk titles will be posted in the
“Program” section of the webpage
<https://sites.google.com/view/genplan20/>).
* SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Submissions can describe either work in progress or mature work that has
already been published at other research venues and would be of interest
to researchers working on generalization in planning. Previously
published work in whole or in part may be in the form of a resubmission
of a previous paper, or in the form of a position paper that overviews
and cites a body of work. Submissions of papers being reviewed at other
venues are welcome since this is a non-archival venue and we will not
require a transfer of copyright. If such papers are currently under
blind review, please anonymizethe submission. Technical papersmay be up
to 7 pages + 1 for references; position papersmay be up to 2 pages
including references.
All papers should be typeset in the AAAI style, described at
http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php, with the AuthorKit20
template https://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit20.zip.
* SUBMIT TO
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=genplan20.
