Properties
Knowledge Representation
Declarative knowledge consists of events in the episodic memory and
and Homer's vocabulary in generic memory. Procedural knowledge consists
the defintions of actions performed by Homer.
Homer maintains two representations for actions. The text interpreter
uses a linguistic model that provides a general definition for actions.
The planner uses a model that includes information related to Homer's
actual implementation of actions.
Learning
Homer does not support learning.
Organization
Homer has a modular design. The architecture is comprised of five main
components and
a memory store. Components may share information directly with certain other
components or indirectly and through the
memory.
General Performance
Homer's natural language processing is done in real-time. Most sentences
are processed in under a second. Planning can take minutes. Performance
is slowed by the difficulty of gaining fast access to the contents
of the episodic memory.
