Foundation Model Self-Play: Open-Ended Strategy Innovation via Foundation Models

Aaron Dharna, Cong Lu, Jeff Clune

Multi-agent interactions have long fueled innovation, from natural predator-prey dynamics to the space race. Self-play (SP) algorithms try to harness these dynamics by pitting agen…

How Weight Resampling and Optimizers Shape the Dynamics of Continual Learning and Forgetting in Neural Networks

Lapo Frati, Neil Traft, Jeff Clune +1

Recent work in continual learning has highlighted the beneficial effect of resampling weights in the last layer of a neural network (``zapping"). Although empirical results demonst…

First-Explore, then Exploit: Meta-Learning to Solve Hard Exploration-Exploitation Trade-Offs

Ben Norman, Jeff Clune

Standard reinforcement learning (RL) agents never intelligently explore like a human (i.e. taking into account complex domain priors and adapting quickly based on previous explorat…
