Experimental Learning in Prodigy
Experimental Learning in Prodigy
This module allows Prodigy to modify domain knowledge when
inconsistancies arise between expected results and observed
results. Experimentation occurs in four phases; Triggering, Design,
Observation, and Assimilation. Triggering occurs when an inconsistancy
is detected. Next, in the design phase Prodigy plans a sequence of
actions to observe side effects that cause the inconsistancy. These
actions are selected so as to minimize their interference with
Prodigy's current planning. In the observation phase, PRODIGY monitors
the actions to observe their side effects. Last, in the assimilation
phase Prodigy modifies its domain knowledge based on the new
information attained through experimentation.
