Oops! Predicting Unintentional Action in Video (2019, background): “In our paper, we instead focus on analyzing goal-directed human action [59], and pro-pose a dataset that allows for learning about failed goals and the transition from intentional to unintentional action.”
Wisdom. A metaheuristic (pragmatic) to orchestrate mind and virtue toward excellence. (2000, result): “Such an approach to the psychology of wisdom is consistent with work by philosophers, who, in their search for an interdisciplinarily guided view of the nature of human rationality, have begun to attend to work on heuristics and pragmatic schemata in cognitive psychology; foremost to mention are phi”

Bad acts, blameworthy agents, and intentional actions: Some problems for juror impartiality (2006, background): “While some scholars suggest that our use of this concept is often affected by moral considerations (eg, Bratman 1987 ; Duff 1982 , 1990 ; Harman 1997 ), others claim that moral considerations either do not or should not have an effect (eg, Butler 1978 ; Katz 1987 ; Mele and Sverdlik 1996 ).”

Self-Deception Unmasked (2001, background): “…of her doing A, may properly be said to do B intentionally (if she does B), even if she does not try to do B and is in no way attracted to doing B (e.g., as a means or as an end), and even if she prefers that her doing A not have her doing B as a side effect (Bratman 1987, chs. 8–10; Harman 1976).”
Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning: A Survey and Interpretation (2017, background): “In the spirit of (Bratman, 1999)’s Belief, Desire, Intention (BDI) agents, the observed data (e.g. simulation data or human assessments) are encoded as beliefs and the difference between the observed and inferred beliefs are the actual implications or intentions of the agent on its environment…”
An Introduction to MultiAgent Systems (2002, methodology): “The description of the BDI model given here draws upon Bratman et al. (1988) and Rao and Georgeff (1992), but is not strictly faithful to either. The most obvious difference is that I do not incorporate the notion of the 'filter override' mechanism described in Bratman et al (1988), and I also assum”
Towards requirements-driven information systems engineering: the Tropos project (2002, unknown): “JACK Intelligent Agents [10] is an agent-oriented development environment designed to extend Java with the theoretical Belief Desire Intention (BDI) agent model [5] used in artificial intelligence as well as in cognitive science and philosophy.”
The Sense of Control and the Sense of Agency (2007, background): “As both philosophers and psychologists have argued (Brand, 1984; Bratman, 1987; Davidson, 1980; Moses, 2001), besides a motivational and a causal aspect, intentions also have an epistemic aspect.”
