Conference paper
Knowledge granularity for task oriented agents
Abstract
An alternative point of view of the spectrum of knowledge abstraction based on the granularity of knowledge representation is presented. This is to find the proper balance in representing an agent's knowledge such that the representation is detailed enough for the agent to select reasonable actions, and at the same time it is coarse enough that it does not exhaust the agent's resources when selecting those reasonable actions.
