ABSTRACT
Every compassionate and functioning society requires its members to have a capacity to adopt others' perspectives. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are given increasingly sensitive and impactful roles in society, it is important to enable AI to wield empathy as a tool to benefit those it interacts with. In this paper, we work towards this goal by bringing together a number of important concepts: empathy, AI planning, and plan recognition (i.e., the problem of inferring an actor's plan and goal given observations about its behavior). We formalize the notions of Empathetic Planning and Empathetic Plan Recognition which are informed by the beliefs and affective state of the actor, and propose AI planning-based computational approaches. We illustrate the benefits of our approach by conducting a study with human participants.

Goal and Plan Recognition Design for Plan Libraries
Survey Papers and Regular PapersThis article provides new techniques for optimizing domain design for goal and plan recognition using plan libraries. We define two new problems: Goal Recognition Design for Plan Libraries (GRD-PL) and Plan Recognition Design (PRD). Solving the GRD-PL ...
A probabilistic plan recognition algorithm based on plan tree grammars
We present the PHATT algorithm for plan recognition. Unlike previous approaches to plan recognition, PHATT is based on a model of plan execution. We show that this clarifies several difficult issues in plan recognition including the execution of ...
Epistemic Plan Recognition
AAMAS '20: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent SystemsThe plan recognition task is to infer an actor's plan and goal given observations about its behavior. We submit that in some cases, for plan recognition to be effective and complete, it must appeal to a notion of epistemics to i) recognize epistemic ...
