Icarus Efficiency of Knowledge Access

There are a number of efficiency measures in Icarus to maximize the speed of knowledge access. Memory in Icarus is organized as a hierarchical tree, minimizing retrieval costs. Additionally, the attention mechanism in Argus focuses on important features in the environment, avoiding cluttering memory with useless percepts. Finally, Icarus uses a greedy algorithm in comparing conditional probabilities while traversing the concept tree, minimizing retrieval cost in most domains.
