Open Questions in Creating Safe Open-ended AI: Tensions Between Control and Creativity
Adrien Ecoffet, Jeff Clune, Joel Lehman
Artificial life originated and has long studied the topic of open-ended evolution, which seeks the principles underlying artificial systems that innovate continually, inspired by b…
Synthetic Petri Dish: A Novel Surrogate Model for Rapid Architecture Search
Aditya Rawal, Joel Lehman, Felipe Petroski Such +2
Neural Architecture Search (NAS) explores a large space of architectural motifs -- a compute-intensive process that often involves ground-truth evaluation of each motif by instanti…
Enhanced POET: Open-Ended Reinforcement Learning through Unbounded Invention of Learning Challenges and their Solutions
Rui Wang, Joel Lehman, Aditya Rawal +4
Creating open-ended algorithms, which generate their own never-ending stream of novel and appropriately challenging learning opportunities, could help to automate and accelerate pr…
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…
Generative Teaching Networks: Accelerating Neural Architecture Search by Learning to Generate Synthetic Training Data
Felipe Petroski Such, Aditya Rawal, Joel Lehman +2
This paper investigates the intriguing question of whether we can create learning algorithms that automatically generate training data, learning environments, and curricula in orde…
