Many-objective Optimization via Voting for Elites
Jackson Dean, Nick Cheney
Real-world problems are often comprised of many objectives and require solutions that carefully trade-off between them. Current approaches to many-objective optimization often requ…
Coping with seasons: evolutionary dynamics of gene networks in a changing environment
Csenge Petak, Lapo Frati, Melissa H. Pespeni +1
In environments that vary frequently and unpredictably, bet-hedgers can overtake the population. Diversifying bet-hedgers have a diverse set of offspring so that, no matter the con…
Modular Controllers Facilitate the Co-Optimization of Morphology and Control in Soft Robots
Alican Mertan, Nick Cheney
Soft robotics is a rapidly growing area of robotics research that would benefit greatly from design automation, given the challenges of manually engineering complex, compliant, and…
Continual learning under domain transfer with sparse synaptic bursting
Shawn L. Beaulieu, Jeff Clune, Nick Cheney
Existing machines are functionally specific tools that were made for easy prediction and control. Tomorrow's machines may be closer to biological systems in their mutability, resil…
Learning to Continually Learn
Shawn Beaulieu, Lapo Frati, Thomas Miconi +4
Continual lifelong learning requires an agent or model to learn many sequentially ordered tasks, building on previous knowledge without catastrophically forgetting it. Much work ha…
Embodiment dictates learnability in neural controllers
Joshua Powers, Ryan Grindle, Sam Kriegman +3
Catastrophic forgetting continues to severely restrict the learnability of controllers suitable for multiple task environments. Efforts to combat catastrophic forgetting reported i…
