An intrinsic reward mechanism for efficient exploration
How should a reinforcement learning agent act if its sole purpose is to efficiently learn an optimal policy for later use? In other words, how should it explore, to be able to exp...

A computational theory of adaptive behavior based on an evolutionary reinforcement mechanism
Two mathematical and two computational theories from the field of human and animal learning are combined to produce a more general theory of adaptive behavior. The cornerstone of ...
