Toward a Soar Theory of Taking Instructions for Immediate Reasoning Tasks
نویسنده
چکیده
Soar is a theory of human cognition [New89], embodied in a computer system. Soar specifies the cognitive architecture, which is the relatively fixed set of mechanisms that permit goals and knowledge of the task environment to be encoded in memory and brought to bear to produce behavior. Soar is proposed as a unified theory of cognition, and it has been applied to human behavior in a broad spectrum of domains. This paper reports progress in getting Soar to take instructions and organize itself to perform a required task.

Instructable Autonomous Agents
INSTRUCTABLE AUTONOMOUS AGENTS by Scott Bradley Huffman Chair: John E. Laird In contrast to current intelligent systems, which must be laboriously programmed for each task they are meant to perform, instructable agents can be taught new tasks and associated knowledge. This thesis presents a general theory of learning from tutorial instruction and its use to produce an instructable agent. Tutori...
متن کاملLearning Procedures from Interactive Natural Language Instructions
Despite its ubiquity in human learning, very little work has been done in artificiaJ intelligence on agents that learn from interactive natural language instructions. In this paper, we examine the problem of learning procedures from interactive, situated instruction, in which the student is attempting to perform tasks within the instructional domain, and asks for instruction when it is needed. ...
متن کاملLearning from highly exible tutorial instruction
Situated, interactive tutorial instructions give exibility in teaching tasks, by allowing communication of a variety of types of knowledge in a variety of situations. To exploit this exibility, however, an instructable agent must be able to learn diierent types of knowledge from diierent instructional interactions. This paper presents an approach to learning from exible tutorial instruction, ca...
متن کاملFlexibly Instructable Agents
This paper presents an approach to learning from situated, interactive tutorial instruction within an ongoing agent. Tutorial instruction is a exible (and thus powerful) paradigm for teaching tasks because it allows an instructor to communicate whatever types of knowledge an agent might need in whatever situations might arise. To support this exibility, however, the agent must be able to learn ...
متن کاملLearning task goals interactively with visual demonstrations
Humans are extremely good at quickly teaching and learning new tasks through situated instructions; tasks such as learning a novel game or household chore. From studying such instructional interactions, we have observed that humans excel at communicating information through multiple modalities, including visual, linguistic, and physical ones. Rosie is a tabletop robot implemented in the Soar ar...
