Towards a Formal Theory of the Need for Competence via Computational Intrinsic Motivation
Erik M. Lintunen, Nadia M. Ady, Sebastian Deterding +1
Computational modelling offers a powerful tool for formalising psychological theories, making them more transparent, testable, and applicable in digital contexts. Yet, the question…
Diversity Progress for Goal Selection in Discriminability-Motivated RL
Erik M. Lintunen, Nadia M. Ady, Christian Guckelsberger
Non-uniform goal selection has the potential to improve the reinforcement learning (RL) of skills over uniform-random selection. In this paper, we introduce a method for learning a…
Creativity and Markov Decision Processes
Joonas Lahikainen, Nadia M. Ady, Christian Guckelsberger
Creativity is already regularly attributed to AI systems outside specialised computational creativity (CC) communities. However, the evaluation of creativity in AI at large typical…
Interdisciplinary Methods in Computational Creativity: How Human Variables Shape Human-Inspired AI Research
Nadia M. Ady, Faun Rice
The word creativity originally described a concept from human psychology, but in the realm of computational creativity (CC), it has become much more. The question of what creativit…
Five Properties of Specific Curiosity You Didn't Know Curious Machines Should Have
Nadia M. Ady, Roshan Shariff, Johannes Günther +1
Curiosity for machine agents has been a focus of lively research activity. The study of human and animal curiosity, particularly specific curiosity, has unearthed several propertie…
