Mixed-Initiative Case Replay

Mixed-initiative case replay introduces an active human into the case-based planning process. The goals of this novel technique are to utilize the strengths of machine-based case replay to improve human performance and to allow a human to override a machine’s abstract representation of an actual domain. The synthesis of these two approaches in a planning domain enables flexible solutions to planning problems. This preliminary research introduces for the first time a human-centered technique into the well-developed planning method of derivational analogy.
