PDDL+ is an expressive planning formalism that enables modelling of hybrid domains having both discrete and continuous dynamics, in which the agent and the environment description are sharply separated. Recently two mappings for translating a PDDL+ problem under discrete interpretation into a numeric task have been proposed. Such translations produce a task of exponential or polynomial size, with respect to the size of the native task. In this work, starting from the above-mentioned polynomial translation, we introduce a sound but not generally complete variant that has the potential to improve the performance of numeric planning engines. However, it is guaranteed to be complete only in a subclass of PDDL+ problems. We define the subclass of problems where the variant is safely applicable, and we empirically assess the advantages of such translation. Further, we show that even in cases when the variant does not guarantee the completeness, it can speed up the planning process, at the cost of losing part of the solutions space.

Enhancing Telepresence Robots with AI: Combining Services to Personalize and React

In this paper we report about the relationships between a multi-preferential semantics for defeasible description logics and a deep neural network model. Weighted knowledge bases for description logics are considered under a “concept-wise" preferential semantics, which is further extended to fuzzy interpretations and exploited to provide a preferential interpretation of Multilayer Perceptrons.


Multilayer Perceptrons as Weighted Conditional Knowledge Bases: an Overview

The work introduces an elastic and platform-agnostic approach to probabilistic logic programming aimed at linking this paradigm with modern mainstream programming platforms, thus widening its usability and portability (e.g. towards the JVM, Android, Python, and JavaScript platforms). We design our solution as an extension of the 2P-Kt symbolic AI ecosystem to inherit its multi-platform and multi-paradigm nature.

Private international law (PIL) addresses overlaps and conflicts between legal systems by distributing cases between the authorities of such systems (jurisdiction) and establishing what rules these authorities have to apply to each case(choice of law). A modular argumentation tool, Arg-tuProlog, is here presented that enables reasoning with rules and interpretations of multiple legal systems.

Human Detection in Drone Images Using YOLO for Search-and-Rescue Operations

Image recognition systems have evolved so much that they can actually be exploited to solve significant challenges today, such as facilitating communication for people with hearing impairments relying on sign languages. This project aims to apply deep learning and fine-tuning techniques to build an automatic recognition system for the Italian Sign Language (LIS). More specifically, our goal is a real-time image recognition system capable of accurately identifying the letters of the LIS alphabet provided by a user in a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) framework by means of Python’s Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) library and two models based on convolutional neural networks, namely CNN and VGG19, applied for large-scale image and video recognition. In addition to testing the performance of different architectures, our work constitutes a novel step towards the application of automatic image recognition techniques with the recently acknowledged LIS and a lately released open-source dataset, also representing the only source available for this type of research on single-handed isolated signs. This project may not only play a role in the interpretation and learning of the Italian Sign Language, encouraging its spread and study, but also in the inclusion of hearing-impaired individuals in the language research domain.

Real-time Italian Sign Language Recognition with Deep Learning

In this paper we present ArabCeleb, a dataset collected in the wild that specifically focuses on arabic language. The proposed dataset contains utterances from 100 celebrities taken from video on YouTube.com. The dataset might be used for several speaker recognition tasks: identification, verification, gender recognition as well as multimodal recognition tasks thus integrating audio and video tracks. To complete our study, we evaluated the most recent state-of-the-art methods for speaker recognition by measuring robustness as the length of the utterances increases.

A neural-machine-translation system resilient to out of vocabulary words for translating natural language to SPARQL

This paper describes an application of textual similarity techniques in the Legal Informatics domain. In European law, a relevant interest relates to the transposition of EU directives by the Member States, which can be complete, partial, or eventually absent. As part of an European project, legal experts annotated transpositions of six directives on a per-article basis. Following an established NLP pipeline, we explore a similarity-based technique to identify correspondences between transpositions of national implementations. Early results are promising and show the role that Artificial Intelligence may play within the process of harmonization and standardization of domestic legal systems as a result of the adoption of EU legislation.
