Learning Cost in Prodigy

Learning Cost in Prodigy

Even when deliberative learning is used to decide what to learn in a knowledge-rich domain, there remains a cost associated with whatever is learned. This is a somewhat more general case of the Utility Problem. One way to address this problem is to invoke different learning strategies for different types of knowledge to be learned, using the method best suited for the particular problem to reduce the cost. This is exemplified in Prodigy's design by the use of multiple learning modules. These modules are designed so that the knowledge they generate is accessible to all learning modules and the problem solver.
