Human Strategy Adaptation in Reinforcement Learning Resembles Policy Gradient Ascent

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Hua-Dong Xiong, Li Ji-An, Robert C Wilson and Marcelo G Mattar | Summary: A hallmark of intelligence is the ability to adapt behavior to changing environments, which requires adapting one’s own learning strategies. This phenomenon is known as learning to learn in cognitive science and meta-learning in artificial intelligence. […]
