practical reasoning
|
Reasoning directed towards action: the process of figuring out, moment by moment, what action to perform next - often assumed to consist of deliberation and means end reasoning.
|
|
theoretical reasoning
|
Reasoning directed towards beliefs ( in contrast to practical reasoning).
|
|
deliberation and planning
|
The components of practical reasoning: deliberation is the process of deciding which goals to achieve, planning is the process of figuring out how to achieve these goals.
|
|
means-ends reasoning
|
In practical reasoning, the process of planning, i.e., determining a plan or recipe to take the agent from the current state of the world to a state where a desired goal is achieved.
|
|
plans/recipes
|
A plan is essentially just a program: think of its as a list of actions to perform.
|
|
intentions
|
States of affairs that an agent is committed to bring about.
|
|
future-directed intentions
|
Intentions directed towards future events, in contrast to, e.g., saying that you performed an action intentionally, where intention characterizes an immediate action.
|
|
pro-attitudes
|
Mental states such as desires or intentions, which tend to lead to action.
|
|
intention-belief inconsistency
|
na
|
|
asymmetry thesis
|
na
|
|
desire filtering
|
The process of choosing between competing options, to choose some consistent subset of these, which then become intentions: things an agent is committed to achieve.
|
|
planning
|
na
|
|
STRIPS notation
|
A symbolic representation for actions in planning systems, in which an action is characterized in terms of pre-condition, an add list, and a delete list.
|
|
precondition list
|
In the STRIPS notation for representing actions, the precondition list defines the things that must be true in order for the action to be executed.
|
|
delete list
|
In the STRIPS notation for representing actions, the delete list defines the things that become false after the action is performed.
|
|
add list
|
In the STRIPS notation for representing actions, the add list defines the things that become true after the action is performed.
|
|
planning problem
|
A planning problem is defined by a representation of the current state of the environment, a goal/task to be achieved, and a set of possible actions - the goal is to find a plan/recipe such that, when executed from the current state, will lead to a state in which the goal/task is satisfied.
|
|
acceptable plan
|
na
|
|
correct plan
|
A plan is correct with respect to a goal if, after it is executed, the goal will be achieved.
|
|
plan library
|
The idea that instead of planning from first principles, an agent has a library of precompiled plans/recipes.
|
|
commitment
|
aka intention: something the agent has resolved to achieve.
|
|
commitment strategy
|
na
|
|
blind commitment
|
A type of commitment that an agent has towards an intention.
|
|
single-minded commitment
|
na
|
|
open-minded commitment
|
na
|
|
intention reconsideration
|
na
|
|
meta-level control
|
Having control over the control structures of agent.
|
|
bold agent
|
An agent that does not frequently reconsider intentions.
|
|
cautious agent
|
An agent that frequently reconsiders its intentions.
|
|
PRS
|
The procedural reasoning system - a well-known belief-desire-intention agent architecture, in which agents dynamically select plans from a plan library in order to achieve their intentions, based on the current context in which they find themselves.
|
|
intention stack
|
na
|
|
meta-level plans
|
Plans that contain actions to manipulate the plans of the agent.
