Perceptual Reward Functions

2016-08-12 · Ashley Edwards, Charles Isbell, Atsuo Takanishi

Reinforcement learning problems are often described through rewards that indicate if an agent has completed some task. This specification can yield desirable behavior, however many problems are difficult to specify in this manner, as one often needs to know the proper configuration for the agent. When humans are learning to solve tasks, we often learn from visual instructions composed of images or videos. Such representations motivate our development of Perceptual Reward Functions, which provide a mechanism for creating visual task descriptions. We show that this approach allows an agent to learn from rewards that are based on raw pixels rather than internal parameters.

Cross-Domain Perceptual Reward Functions

2017-05-25 · Ashley D. Edwards, Srijan Sood, Charles L. Isbell Jr

In reinforcement learning, we often define goals by specifying rewards within desirable states. One problem with this approach is that we typically need to redefine the rewards each time the goal changes, which often req…

Unsupervised Perceptual Rewards for Imitation Learning

2016-12-20 · Pierre Sermanet, Kelvin Xu, Sergey Levine

Reward function design and exploration time are arguably the biggest obstacles to the deployment of reinforcement learning (RL) agents in the real world. In many real-world tasks, designing a reward function takes consid…

This paper explores an intrinsic motivation for mutual awareness, hypothesizing that humans possess a fundamental drive to understand and to be understood even in the absence of extrinsic rewards. Through simulations of …

A rodent paradigm for studying perceptual decisions under asymmetric reward

2021-12-22 · Xiaoyue Zhu, Jeffrey C. Erlich

Many real-life decisions involve both perceptual processes and weighing the consequences of different actions. However, the neural mechanisms underlying perceptual decisions have typically been examined separately from t…
