Original abstract

The objective of this manuscript is to introduce a novel computational framework, termed Computational Goal Discovery Algorithm (CGDA), that automatically identifies latent goals underlying observable behaviors in dynamic systems. By formalizing the mapping from sequences of actions (behavior) to corresponding objective states (goal), CGDA leverages statistical inference, pattern recognition, and reinforcement learning principles to infer the implicit intentions of agents, whether human or artificial. The algorithm operates without explicit supervision, using only raw behavioral data streams to discover goal structures that may not be immediately apparent. The theoretical foundation of CGDA is grounded in Markov decision processes, Bayesian inference, and information theory, allowing for rigorous evaluation of the uncertainty and optimality of inferred goals. We demonstrate the applicability of CGDA across multiple domains, including robotic manipulation, autonomous driving, and human-computer interaction, and discuss its potential to catalyze advances in machine science, thereby positioning it as a candidate for high-impact recognition such as the Turing Award. This paper presents the core ideas, mathematical formulations, algorithmic steps, and potential future directions, offering a comprehensive overview for researchers and practitioners interested in automated goal inference and its implications for autonomous systems.
