Unstable Dynamics of Intrinsically Motivated Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Employing the dynamical systems framework, we study the effects of intrinsic motivation on the dynamics of the learning processes. The intrinsic motivation here is the one’s desire to learn not because it may cause some benefits in future, but due to the inherent joy obtained by the very process of learning. We study a simple example of a single agent adapting to unknown environment; the agent is biased by the desire to select the actions she has little information about. We show that intrinsic motivation may cause the instability of the learning process that is stable in the case of rational agent. Therefore, we suggest that the effects of human intrinsic motivation in particular and the irrationality in general may be of exceptional importance in complex sociopsychological systems and deserve much attention in the formal models of such systems.

Humans and other animals often engage in activities for their own sakes rather than as steps toward solving practical problems. Psychologists call these intrinsically motivated behaviors. What we learn during intrinsically motivated behavior is essential for our development as competent autonomous entities able to efficiently solve a wide range of practical problems as they arise.

One of the primary challenges of developmental robotics is the question of how to learn and represent increasingly complex behavior in a self-motivated, open-ended way. Barto, Singh, and Chentanez (Barto, Singh, & Chentanez 2004; Singh, Barto, & Chentanez 2004) have recently presented an algorithm for intrinsically motivated reinforcement learning that strives to achieve broad competence in an ...

The Flowers team studies computational mechanisms allowing robots and humans to acquire openended repertoires of skills through life-long learning. This includes the processes for progressively discovering their bodies and interaction with objects, tools and others. In particular, we study mechanisms of intrinsically motivated learning (also called curiosity-driven active learning), autonomous ...
