Abstract

Agents need to know the effects of their actions.Strongassociations between actions and effects can be found bycounting how often they co-occur.We present an algorithmthat learns temporal patterns expressed as fluents, propositionswith temporal extent.The fluent-learning algorithmis hierarchical and unsupervised. It works by maintainingco-occurrence statistics on pairs of fluents.In experimentson a mobile robot, the fluent-learning algorithm found temporalassociations that correspond to effects of the robot'sactions.
