Problems with Intent Recognition for Elder Care

Abstract

Providing contextually appropriate help for elders re-quires the ability to identify the activities they are engaged in. However, inferring agent intent in these kinds of very general domains requires answers to a number of problems that existing AI research on intent recognition/task tracking has not addressed. This pa-per identifies some of these limitations, sketches some of the solutions and points at some promising direc-tions for future work.l
