This paper formalises deception as it applies to path-planning and introduces the notion of a last deceptive point (LDP) which, when measured in terms of 'path completion', can be used to rank paths by their potential to deceive. Building on recent developments in probabilistic goal-recognition, we propose a formula to calculate an optimal LDP and present strategies for the generation of deceptive paths by both simulation ('showing the false') and dissimulation ('hiding the real').","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2017/610","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/610","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/0610.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/610.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/bibtex/610","volume":{"slug":"2017","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2017","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/","year":2017,"location":"Melbourne, Australia","dates":"19-25 August 2017","editors":"Carles Sierra","isbn":"978-0-9992411-0-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2017"},"section":"Planning and Scheduling","track":"Main track","number":610,"pages":{"first":4368,"last":4375},"keywords":["Planning and Scheduling: Model-Based Reasoning","Robotics and Vision: Motion and Path Planning","Planning and Scheduling: Activity and Plan Recognition"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Alloway et al., 2015] Tracy P.
