An innovative task learning system called PLOW (Procedure Learning On the Web) lets end-users teach procedural tasks to automate their various web activities. Deep natural understanding and mixed-initiative interaction in PLOW makes the teaching process very natural and intuitive while producing efficient/workable procedures.

Providing domain knowledge needed by intelligent tutoring systems to teach a procedure to students is traditionally a difficult and time consuming task. This paper presents a system for making this process easier by allowing the automated tutor to acquire the knowledge it needs through a combination of programming by demonstration, autonomous experimentation, and direct instruction.

In this paper, we are interested inminimizing the sum of block sizes in a pairwise balanced design, where there are some constraints on the size of one block or the size of the largest block. For every positive integers n,m, wherem ≤ n, letS (n,m) be the smallest integer s for which there exists a PBD on n points whose largest block has sizem and the sum of its block sizes is equal to s. Also, ...

In this paper we consider the continuous time ltering problem and we estimate the order of convergence of an interacting particle system scheme presented by the authors in previous works. We will discuss how the discrete time approximating model of the Kushner-Stratonovitch equation and the genetic type interacting particle system approximation combine. We present quenched error bounds as well ...
