• Abstract summary: Link between cognition and control must manage the problem of converting continuous values from the real world to symbolic representations (and back) To generate effective behaviors, reasoning must include a capacity to replan, acquire and update new information, detect and respond to anomalies, and perform various operations on system goals. This paper examines an agent's choices when multiple goal operations co-occur and interact, and it establishes a method of choosing between them.

• Abstract: Intelligent physical systems as embodied cognitive systems must perform high-level reasoning while concurrently managing an underlying control architecture. The link between cognition and control must manage the problem of converting continuous values from the real world to symbolic representations (and back). To generate effective behaviors, reasoning must include a capacity to replan, acquire and update new information, detect and respond to anomalies, and perform various operations on system goals. But, these processes are not independent and need further exploration. This paper examines an agent's choices when multiple goal operations co-occur and interact, and it establishes a method of choosing between them. We demonstrate the benefits and discuss the trade offs involved with this and show positive results in a dynamic marine search task.

• Autonomous Open-Ended Learning of Tasks with Non-Stationary Interdependencies [64.0476282000118]
  Intrinsic motivations have proven to generate a task-agnostic signal to properly allocate the training time amongst goals. While the majority of works in the field of intrinsically motivated open-ended learning focus on scenarios where goals are independent from each other, only few of them studied the autonomous acquisition of interdependent tasks. In particular, we first deepen the analysis of a previous system, showing the importance of incorporating information about the relationships between tasks at a higher level of the architecture. Then we introduce H-GRAIL, a new system that extends the previous one by adding a new learning layer to store the autonomously acquired sequences

• Robust Event-Driven Interactions in Cooperative Multi-Agent Learning [0.0]
  We present an approach to reduce the communication required between agents in a Multi-Agent learning system by exploiting the inherent robustness of the underlying Markov Decision Process. We compute so-called robustness surrogate functions (off-line), that give agents a conservative indication of how far their state measurements can deviate before they need to update other agents in the system. This results in fully distributed decision functions, enabling agents to decide when it is necessary to update others.

• Understanding the origin of information-seeking exploration in probabilistic objectives for control [62.997667081978825]
  An exploration-exploitation trade-off is central to the description of adaptive behaviour. One approach to solving this trade-off has been to equip or propose that agents possess an intrinsic 'exploratory drive' We show that this combination of utility maximizing and information-seeking behaviour arises from the minimization of an entirely difference class of objectives.

  In reinforcement learning, an agent learns to reach a set of goals by means of an external reward signal. In the natural world, intelligent organisms learn from internal drives, bypassing the need for external signals. We propose to formulate an intrinsic objective as the mutual information between the goal states and the controllable states.
