                              Research Interests


Research area: Artificial intelligence, primarily machine learning and planning

Thesis research: Investigating how complex problem-solvers can be structured
to allow a general machine-learning approach to learn new methods for a
variety of tasks.  The learning approach takes advantage of planner structure
by using explicit descriptions of planner components to guide learning.

Topic areas: Machine learning, planning, model-based reasoning, knowledge
representation, integrated reasoning.

Secondary research interests: High-level connectionist models, case-based
reasoning, LISP implementation.
