Agents in dynamic contexts, a system for learning plans
2020
Reproducing the human ability to cooperate and collaborate in a dynamic environment is a significant challenge in the field of human-robot teaming interaction. Generally, in this context, a robot has to adapt itself to handle unforeseen situations. The problem is runtime planning when some factors are not known before the execution starts. This work aims to show and discuss a method to handle this kind of situation. Our idea is to use the Belief-Desire-Intention agent paradigm, its the Jason reasoning cycle and a Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System. The result is a novel method that gives the robot the ability to select the best plan.
A Multimodal Interaction Guide for Pervasive Services Access
2007
A pervasive, multimodal virtual guide for a cultural heritage site tour is illustrated. The guide is based on the integration of different technologies such as conversational agents, commonsense reasoning knowledge bases, multimodal interfaces and self-location detection systems. The aim of the work is to offer a more natural, context sensitive access to information with respect to traditional audio/visual pre-recorded guides. A prototype has been developed and implemented on a Qtek 9090 with Windows Mobile 2003 in order to deal with the "Museo Archeologico Regionale di Agrigento" domain.
Comparative Reasoning for Intelligent Agents
2023
We demonstrate new comparative reasoning abilities of NARS, a formal model of intelligence, which enable the asymmetric comparison of perceivable quantifiable attributes of objects using rela- tions. These new abilities are implemented by extending NAL with addi- tional inference rules. We demonstrate the new capabilities in a bottle- picking experiment on a mobile robot running ONA, an implementation of NARS.
La retribuzione nel lavoro pubblico in tempi di crisi
2019
Il saggio analizza le recenti misure di riduzione del costo del lavoro nel pubblico impiego italiano alla luce della degli orientamenti della giurisprudenza al riguardo. La crisi economica è un fattore sempre presente nelle argomentazioni dei giudici. Aumenta il tasso di litigiosità e il potere giudiziario deve valutare la legittimità del-le scelte della pubblica amministrazione e la reazione giudiziaria dei lavoratori pubblici nel tentativo di recuperare, in tutto o in parte, le quote di retribuzione perdute (o non adeguate nel corso del tempo).

True Exceptions:Defeasibility and Particularism
2012
Sometimes, kinds of cases which do in fact fall under the antecedent of a conditional norm are reckoned recalcitrant. I.e., although they fall under the antecedent of the norm we do not wish to allow the consequence to follow. In such cases, we sometimes say that we are abandoning, or discarding, the norm. We concede, that is, that the alleged norm was wrong (or, if you wish, that it was no norm at all). At other times, however, it is claimed that the norm is a defeasible one. Granted, the case at hand is one of those in which the norm is defeated; but this, it is implied, does not amount to a wholesale abandonment of the norm itself. Being defeasible, the norm somehow survives the impact o…
Ragionamento giuridico. Particolarismo. In difesa di un approccio psicologistico
2017
Legal Reasoning, Particularism: In Defense of a Psychologistic Approach. In this paper I recommend a close examination of the reasons favouring a deep and potentially far reaching reorientation of legal theory, and of the theory of norms and norm-based reasoning and decision-making generally, namely, the adoption of a psychologistic approach (“psychodeontics”). I argue in favour of psychologism - not in the anstract, but - with reference to rwo particular topics: legal reasoning (specifically, the justification of judicial decisions) and the project of a of two-tier (principles v. rules) theory of law, informed by a particularistic conception of practical reasoning. I show that there are as…
Reasons, Rules, Exceptions. Towards a Psychological Account
2018
In this paper we defend a psychological account of rule-based reasoning, specifically of the relationship between rules and exceptions. The topic of our inquiry are the relations between rules, the reasons underlying them, and exceptions. In analysing these relations, first, we outline an apparent paradox, the “paradox of rules”, and a related problem, the “problem of reconsideration”. Then, we propose a solution to, or better dissolution of, the paradox, grounded in an account of the psychological processes underlying rule-application and reconsideration. We claim, that is, that the problem of reconsideration should be answered by appealing to matters of sheer psychological fact. The upsho…
