ToyArchitecture: Unsupervised learning of interpretable models of the environment.

Research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has focused mostly on two extremes: either on small improvements in narrow AI domains, or on universal theoretical frameworks which are often uncomputable, or lack practical implementations. In this paper we attempt to follow a big picture view while also providing a particular theory and its implementation to present a novel, purposely simple, and interpretable hierarchical architecture. This architecture incorporates the unsupervised learning of a model of the environment, learning the influence of one's own actions, model-based reinforcement learning, hierarchical planning, and symbolic/sub-symbolic integration in general.
