• Title: L'origine de l'objectif est-elle importante? Effets motivationnels d'objectifs autod{\'e}finis en production
• Abstract summary: We focus on a commonly used game element, goal setting, through the lens of self-determination theory and goal-setting theory. One hundred two participants completed a repetitive material-handling task in one of three conditions. Results showed that perceived autonomy (autonomous motivation) and performance were best when goals were self-set. Engagement, however, was equal between self-set and assigned goals.

• Abstract: Only 21% of employees consider themselves engaged at work. Moreover, disengagement has been shown to be even more problematic when work is repetitive in nature. Lack of engagement has been linked to variety of negative outcomes for employees and companies (e.g., turnover, absenteeism, well-being, safety incidents, productivity). Gamification, i.e., integrating game elements into work systems, has been successfully used to increase engagement and motivation, even when work tasks were mundane and repetitive. In the current study, we focused on a commonly used game element, goal setting, through the lens of self-determination theory and goal-setting theory. We argue that goals given by an external source (e.g., company, experimenter) produce extrinsic motivation, which improves engagement and performance only in the short term. We posit that self-set goals lead to more autonomous motivation, and therefore long-term engagement and performance. One hundred two participants completed a repetitive material-handling task in one of three conditions (assigned goal, self-set goal, no goal). Results showed that perceived autonomy (autonomous motivation) and performance were best when goals were self-set. Engagement, however, was equal between self-set and assigned goals. The results indicate that self-set goals have the greatest potential to generate long-term positive outcomes both for employees and companies.

  EgoTaskQA benchmark provides home for crucial dimensions of task understanding through question-answering on real-world egocentric videos. We meticulously design questions that target the understanding of (1) action dependencies and effects, (2) intents and goals, and (3) agents' beliefs about others. We evaluate state-of-the-art video reasoning models on our benchmark and show their significant gaps between humans in understanding complex goal-oriented egocentric videos.

  Intrinsically motivated RL attempts to remove this constraint by defining an intrinsic reward function. Motivated by the self-consciousness concept in psychology, we make a natural assumption that the agent knows what constitutes itself. We mathematically formalize this reward as the mutual information between the agent state and the surrounding state.

  Continually solving new, unsolved tasks is the key to learning diverse behaviors. In the multi-task domain, where an agent needs to reach multiple goals, the choice of training goals can largely affect sample efficiency. We propose setting up an automatic curriculum for goals that the agent needs to solve. We evaluate our method across 13 multi-goal robotic tasks and 5 navigation tasks, and demonstrate performance gains over current state-of-the-art methods.

• Intrinsic Motivation for Encouraging Synergistic Behavior [55.10275467562764]
  We study the role of intrinsic motivation as an exploration bias for reinforcement learning in sparse-reward synergistic tasks. Our key idea is that a good guiding principle for intrinsic motivation in synergistic tasks is to take actions which affect the world in ways that would not be achieved if the agents were acting on their own.

• Mutual Information-based State-Control for Intrinsically Motivated Reinforcement Learning [102.05692309417047]
  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.
