• Authors: Luca M. Schulze Buschoff, Eric Schulz, Marcel Binz
• Abstract summary: We investigate how the learning trajectories of deep generative neural networks compare to children's developmental trajectories using physical understanding as a testbed. We find that while our models are able to accurately predict a number of physical processes, their learning trajectories under both hypotheses do not follow the developmental trajectories of children.

• Abstract: As children grow older, they develop an intuitive understanding of the physical processes around them. Their physical understanding develops in stages, moving along developmental trajectories which have been mapped out extensively in previous empirical research. Here, we investigate how the learning trajectories of deep generative neural networks compare to children's developmental trajectories using physical understanding as a testbed. We outline an approach that allows us to examine two distinct hypotheses of human development - stochastic optimization and complexity increase. We find that while our models are able to accurately predict a number of physical processes, their learning trajectories under both hypotheses do not follow the developmental trajectories of children.

  We introduce a novel task known as neural lineage detection, aiming at discovering lineage relationships between parent and child models. For practical convenience, we introduce a learning-free approach, which integrates an approximation of the finetuning process into the neural network representation similarity metrics. For the pursuit of accuracy, we introduce a learning-based lineage detector comprising encoders and a transformer detector.

  Continual developmental neurosimulation allows us to consider the role of developmental trajectories in bridging the related phenomena of nervous system morphogenesis, developmental learning, and plasticity. Our approach is tightly integrated with developmental embodiment, and can be implemented using a type of agent called developmental Braitenberg Vehicles (dBVs) dBVs begin their lives as a set of undefined structures that transform into agent-based systems including a body, sensors, effectors, and nervous system.
