Title: A Robust Approach to Plan Recognition

Abstract:
Plan recognition is the process of inferring an agent's plans and goals from
his actions.  Most of the previous work on plan recognition has approached
this problem by first hypothesizing a single goal and then attempting to
match the actions with a plan for achieving that goal.  Unfortuantely, there
are some types of problems where focusing on a single hypothesis will
mislead the system.  I will present an architecture for plan recognition
that does not require the system to choose a single goal, but allows several
hypotheses to be considered simultaneously.  This architecture uses an
assumption-based truth maintenance system to maintain both the observed
actions and the predictions about the agent's plans and goals.
