Epistemic Planning and Reasoning

Reasoning about knowledge and belief is an important topic in AI. We have studied several aspects of this including epistemic planning; planning with epistemic preferences; epistemic side effects and their relationship to AI safety; theory of mind for explanation, goal recognition, and assistance; and the role of epistemics in diagnosis and sensing. See these fun videos of some of our theory of mind work applied in the context of an assistive Pepper robot, as part of Maayan Shvo's thesis work: videos here.
