Idiobionics: The Unification of Privacy and Intelligent Robotic Prostheses
Kwesi Afari Darfoor, Patrick M. Pilarski, Bailey Kacsmar
The human body is at the center of a growing family of technologies designed to tightly and persistently couple biological and digital systems. Robotic prostheses are a representat…
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…
The Frost Hollow Experiments: Pavlovian Signalling as a Path to Coordination and Communication Between Agents
Patrick M. Pilarski, Andrew Butcher, Elnaz Davoodi +7
Learned communication between agents is a powerful tool when approaching decision-making problems that are hard to overcome by any single agent in isolation. However, continual coo…
Pavlovian Signalling with General Value Functions in Agent-Agent Temporal Decision Making
Andrew Butcher, Michael Bradley Johanson, Elnaz Davoodi +6
In this paper, we contribute a multi-faceted study into Pavlovian signalling -- a process by which learned, temporally extended predictions made by one agent inform decision-making…
Document-editing Assistants and Model-based Reinforcement Learning as a Path to Conversational AI
Katya Kudashkina, Patrick M. Pilarski, Richard S. Sutton
Intelligent assistants that follow commands or answer simple questions, such as Siri and Google search, are among the most economically important applications of AI. Future convers…
What's a Good Prediction? Challenges in evaluating an agent's knowledge
Alex Kearney, Anna Koop, Patrick M. Pilarski
Constructing general knowledge by learning task-independent models of the world can help agents solve challenging problems. However, both constructing and evaluating such models re…
