Reading Group on Planning and Search
Organizer: Prof. Dr. Malte Helmert
Time and Place
Time: Thursday 16:00-17:00 (starts 4 PM sharp)
Place: Room 052 00-016 (meeting room of the
Foundations of Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering groups)
Description
In the reading group, we discuss current and classical research on action planning, search and related areas. All participants can make recommendations for the reading list, from which one or more papers are selected for each meeting. Participants read the selected papers individually in preparation for the meeeting and discuss them during the meeting.
The target audience of the reading group consists of academic staff and interested guests, comparable to a staff seminar or a seminar in a graduate school. Students may feel free to participate, but should be aware that no ECTS points can be earned for the reading group.
