Meta-Reasoning in Prodigy

Meta-Reasoning in Prodigy

Prodigy, according to its designers, decides what to learn, when to learn, and why it learned some particular piece of knowledge. This implies a meta-reasoning capabilty in Prodigy. This capabilty is chiefly limited to learning control rules and how this learning relates to a rule's utility. The STATIC learning module accesses the contents of the agent's knowledge base to form new control rules. Additionally, the EBL and ANALOGY learning modules use problem-solving traces to create new control rules based on the agent's previous actions.
