Towards Goal-Driven Reflective Learning

Except for various ad hoc (and sometimes quite successful) systems, this de facto manifesto calling for the study of introspective systems did not give rise to what may be called "a general architecture for declarative and/or reflective machine learning". Some recent research taking place under the label of "goal-driven learning" signals however a renewed interest in these very basic issues: " learning in such systems is an active process.., to generate learning goals, goal-driven learning systems must be introspective" [5].
