Title
Schema Learning: Experience-Based Construction of Predictive Action Models
Abstract
Schema learning is a way to discover probabilistic, constructivist, pre- dictive action models (schemas) from experience. It includes meth- ods for finding and using hidden state to make predictions mor e accu- rate. We extend the original schema mechanism (1) to handle arbitrary discrete-valued sensors, improve the original learning cr iteria to handle POMDP domains, and better maintain hidden state by using schema pre- dictions. These extensions show large improvement over the original schema mechanism in several rewardless POMDPs, and achievevery low prediction error in a difficult speech modeling task. Furthe r, we compare the extended schema learner to the recently introduced predictive state representations (2), and find their predictions of next-ste p action effects to be approximately equal in accuracy. This work lays the foundation for a schema-based system of integrated learning and planning.
