Concepts and Frameworks
Short explanations of frameworks and concepts introduced in my papers, written for readers who meet a term in a search or a literature review. Each page links to the papers, their DOIs and BibTeX entries.

Accountability Graphs

A framework for attributing responsibility in conversational AI agent chains: agent chains are modelled as directed acyclic graphs with provenance metadata and causal responsibility semantics, and harm is traced backwards to graded responsibility scores.

AI for Geothermal Energy: Validation and Deployment Readiness

What a systematic evidence map of 626 peer-reviewed studies shows about AI in geothermal energy systems: how far methods have been validated beyond their development data, the E0–E4 evidence-readiness scale, and why transferability and deployment do not advance together.

Consent in Agentic AI

How user consent breaks down when AI systems act on people’s behalf, interact with other agents and delegate to robots: the consent vacuum, consent chain degradation, the CoRVE runtime architecture and six consent vulnerabilities in agent ecosystems.

Guided Soft Actor-Critic (GSAC)

A deep reinforcement learning method for partially observable problems in which a guiding actor with privileged full-state access distils its policy into a control actor that acts on observation histories; extended in 2026 by Belief-Aware GSAC.
