Pairing the EfferenceNet with a good but generic feature map allows us to perform an accurate search in the latent space of manipulating unseen objects. This remarkably simple method, inspired by the neurology of the cerebellum, reveals a promising line of future work. We validate our method by on a viewpoint-matching task derived from the NORB data set.
In model-free multi-task reinforcement learning (RL), abundant work shows that a shared policy network can improve performance across the different tasks. The rationale behind this is that an agent can learn similarities that all tasks have in common and thus effectively enrich the sample count for all tasks at hand. In model-based multi-task RL however, we found evidence suggesting that a dynamics model can suffer from task confusion or catastrophic interference if it is trained on multiple tasks at once.
The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a central research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory systems and while acting in those environments through effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology as well as theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and applied computer science, in particular machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
