REPORT ON AAAI-91

Abstract

This is a report on the aspects of AAAI-91 which were particularly applicable to my research. Included is a brief description of the problem my thesis attacks--understanding instruction during task learning--and a summary of a variety of papers which appear in the proceedings, as well as one of the invited talks. The papers which will be summarized are from the following sections of the proceedings: generation and interaction, syntax and semantics, formalisms for coordination, temporal constraints, tractable inference, and an invited talk on discourse understanding. A discussion of how these ideas relate to the problem of understanding instruction is incorporated into each summary, as well as forming a conclusion for the report.
