....predict in what place it will arrive next. This is a Stimulus Response Stimulus (S R S) type of association, and a sequence of such associations will be called a route [101] Being able to predict the next stimulus from the current stimulus and the next action is also called having a world model [41, 78, 118, 139]. However, routes are independent of one another and each route leads to a unique goal. They are inflexible because there is no taking into account of the fact that two different routes may pass through the same places. In this sense, the representation of a route is a simple extension of what is ....

.... it is still important to keep in mind that the user has an experience whereby a relationship can be grown between the user and the interface such that the user sees how the adaptation learns about the user and gets better at identifying information that the user wants (Maes Kozierok 1993; Foner Maes 1994). Devices The second component of an iValet is that of the device. An iValet can make use of multiple devices, each having different characteristics and capabilities. For example, the user could have a pager that can send and receive email, is always on, but has a small and limited screen; a ....

....Strategy. The exploration strategy used in these architectures varies. Drescher s system, while demonstrating sophisticated learning, has an extremely simple exploration strategy, namely a random one. His agent basically does not do anything else but learn by performing random experiments. Foner [19] discusses how Drescher s agent can be made to learn much faster and to learn more relevant knowledge by adopting a smarter experimentation strategy as well as a focus of attention mechanism. In Maes architecture [38] the exploration strategy is also more goal oriented: the agent biases its ....

....The computational complexity of all of the learning systems discussed is too big to be practically useful to build complex agents that solve real problems. ffl One reason this is the case is that very few algorithms have incorporated interesting attention mechanisms. For example, Foner [19] demonstrates that incorporating attention mechanisms such as spatial locality can improve the tractability of learning from experience in a significant way. Most algorithms discussed above only use the temporal locality heuristic, i.e. effects are assumed to be perceived soon after the actions ....
