Weld's Research Interests

Research Interests: Weld's research interests are in artificial intelligence, personalizable user interfaces, planning algorithms, and innovative Web systems such as the Intelligence in Wikipedia Project. Weld is a member of DuB, a group working on computer-human interaction. We distribute the Supple interface-buildiong toolkit and the Temporal Graphplan planner.

Many of Weld's papers are available electronically; here are some of the most recent:
