Multi-Method Learning in PRODIGY
The designers of PRODIGY contend that there is no universal learning
method (such as the one for
Soar. `
Therefore, they incorporated six different
learning modules in the PRODIGY
architecture, each of which exhibits different learning strategies
for different types of knowledge. Although the knowledge representation
in PRODIGY is essentially declarative (see
Uniform Knowledge Representation in
PRODIGY), these learning modules also use
multiple learning methods which
include
inductive and deductive reasoning.
Finally, the
deliberative learning strategy of the
PRODIGY design allows for some degree of coordination between the
mulitple methods engaged. These methods include:
