Answering Planning Queries with the Crowd
Summary: Leverages crowd input to answer planning queries with ill-defined objectives (sequences of actions). Proposes an incremental, best-question-first algorithm that builds plans step-by-step to minimize total queries; proves optimality within its class and demonstrates empirical efficiency.
