Our prior plans supervise our actions and help us form new plans, which turn out to be the modified versions of our related previous plans. This is the process that we call “plan to learn”, a procedure involving self-supervision to learn more about the environment and extract meaning out of it. In cases where our prior plans fall short, it is not easy for us to produce efficient or complete plans. For instance, in a world very different from our own, with objects whose affordances appear to be false, encountering seemingly random situations prevent us from understanding our environment and how to act in it. If the differences are small enough, then we might be able to find patterns and adapt to that environment. However, if the distinctions are too large to make a meaning out of them, we can be stuck on such occasions, as we would not know how to make a reasonable plan in such a setting without supervision and without using our innate planning mechanism, thus we cannot “learn to plan”. In this thesis, these two processes, “plan to learn” and “learn to plan” in structured problem domains are compared. To this end, we conducted two experiments using a video game involving object interaction and in the light of the outcomes, we developed a computer model that uses prior plans containing affordances to learn about the environment and to update its knowledge of the world.

An evolutionary methodology for conceptual design
Güroğlu, Serkan; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
The main goal of this thesis is the development of a novel methodology to generate creative solutions at functional level for design tasks without binding solution spaces with designers̕ individual experiences and prejudices. For this purpose, an evolutionary methodology for the conceptual design of engineering products has been proposed. This methodology performs evaluation, combination and modification of the existing solutions repetitively to generate new solution alternatives. Therefore, initially a rep...
A Semantic-Based Solution for UBL Schema Interoperability
Yarimagan, Yalin; Doğaç, Asuman (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-05-01)
The Universal Business Language (UBL) is an initiative to develop common business document schemas for interoperability. However, businesses operate in different industry, geopolitical, and regulatory contexts and have different rules and requirements for the information they exchange. So, several trading communities are tailoring UBL schemas to their needs, requiring that these schemas translate to each other. In this article, the authors describe how to enhance UBL with semantics-based translation mechani...
Automated Identification of Vagueness in the FIDIC Silver Book Conditions of Contract
Candas, Ali Bedii; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat (2022-04-01)
Contract conditions are crucial as they outline an agreement between different parties. The semantic terms in contract conditions need to be precisely designated. Where these conditions contain vague meanings, the interpretation of the conditions will vary, especially since the parties of the contract will be differently motivated to pursue their different expectations from it. The vague terms in contract conditions may thus cause a dispute and conflict among the parties that can jeopardize the eventual suc...
An investigation of the relationship between joint visual attention and product quality in collaborative business process modeling: a dual eye-tracking study
Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit (2022-02-01)
Collaborative business process modeling is a collective activity where team members jointly discuss, design, and document business processes. During such activities, team members need to communicate with each other to coordinate the modeling activities, propose and justify changes, and negotiate common terms and definitions. Throughout this process, stakeholders should be aware of when and what kind of changes have been made by each team member on the shared space so that they can discuss design ideas and b...
A modified heuristic procedure for materials management in project networks
Erbasi, A; Sepil, C (1999-06-01)
A heuristic procedure for determining the tradeoff between expediting the ordering of materials and delaying the project is presented. The heuristic procedure is a modification of the procedure taken from the literature. With the use of an illustrative example, it has been shown that the modified procedure provides schedules with lower total cost values. Experimental results performed on randomly generated problems reveal that the modification can bring a decrease in total cost values as much as 52%.
