Beauty is in the ELBO of the Beholder: A Variational Account of Processing Fluency in Face Perception
Francisco M. López, Jochen Triesch
Facial attractiveness has been linked to statistical regularities such as symmetry and averageness, suggesting that beauty may depend on the ease with which a face is perceived. We…
Embodiment Shapes Rolling Behavior in a Multimodal Infant Model
Leon Philipp, Francisco M. López, Jochen Triesch
Rolling over is one of the earliest milestones in infant motor development, reflecting the emergence of coordinated, whole-body sensorimotor control. Here, we conduct a computation…
Infant Spontaneous Movement Noise Improves Exploration in Deep RL
Francisco M. López, Markus R. Ernst, Francisco Cruz +2
Exploration in deep reinforcement learning (RL) is commonly implemented as temporally uncorrelated white noise. However, recent works show that temporally correlated colored noise…
Simulating Infant First-Person Sensorimotor Experience via Motion Retargeting from Babies to Humanoids
Francisco M. López, Hoshinori Kanazawa, Ondrej Fiala +8
Motion retargeting from humans to human-like artificial agents is becoming increasingly important as humanoid robots grow more capable. However, most existing approaches focus only…
