Abstract

A novel method of Goal-directed Procedure Learning is presented that overcomes some of the drawbacks of the traditional approaches to planning and reinforcement learning. The necessary principles for acquiring goal-dependent behaviors, and the motivations behind this approach are explained. A concrete implementation exists in a Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System, OpenNARS, although we believe the findings may be generally applicable to other AGI systems.
