Reflective, Deliberative Information Gathering (Doctoral Consortium)

In this research, we focus on reflective and deliberative solutions to improve information gathering by agents in complex environments to handle challenging properties such as uncertainty, partial observability, non-stationarity, and limited resources. We describe the core problems addressed by this research, our ongoing contributions towards solving these problems, and describe how we are applying our research to two real-world applications: personal assistants and intelligent survey systems.
