Goal-Conditioned Agents that Learn Everything All at Once

Michael Matthews, Matthew Jackson, Michael Beukman +5

A goal-conditioned reinforcement learning agent exploring an environment will see a wealth of information throughout a trajectory, most of which is discarded when only performing o…

Self-Improving Language Models for Evolutionary Program Synthesis: A Case Study on ARC-AGI

Julien Pourcel, Cédric Colas, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer

Many program synthesis tasks prove too challenging for even state-of-the-art language models to solve in single attempts. Search-based evolutionary methods offer a promising altern…

WorldLLM: Improving LLMs' world modeling using curiosity-driven theory-making

Guillaume Levy, Cedric Colas, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) possess general world knowledge but often struggle to generate precise predictions in structured, domain-specific contexts such as simulations. These l…

When LLMs Play the Telephone Game: Cultural Attractors as Conceptual Tools to Evaluate LLMs in Multi-turn Settings

Jérémy Perez, Grgur Kovač, Corentin Léger +5

As large language models (LLMs) start interacting with each other and generating an increasing amount of text online, it becomes crucial to better understand how information is tra…

CURIOUS: Intrinsically Motivated Modular Multi-Goal Reinforcement Learning

Cédric Colas, Pierre Fournier, Olivier Sigaud +2

In open-ended environments, autonomous learning agents must set their own goals and build their own curriculum through an intrinsically motivated exploration. They may consider a l…

Expedition & Expansion: Leveraging Semantic Representations for Goal-Directed Exploration in Continuous Cellular Automata

Sina Khajehabdollahi, Gautier Hamon, Marko Cvjetko +3

Discovering diverse visual patterns in continuous cellular automata (CA) is challenging due to the vastness and redundancy of high-dimensional behavioral spaces. Traditional explor…
