Probing Emergent Semantics in Predictive Agents via Question Answering
Abhishek Das, Federico Carnevale, Hamza Merzic +8
Recent work has shown how predictive modeling can endow agents with rich knowledge of their surroundings, improving their ability to act in complex environments. We propose questio…
Catch & Carry: Reusable Neural Controllers for Vision-Guided Whole-Body Tasks
Josh Merel, Saran Tunyasuvunakool, Arun Ahuja +6
We address the longstanding challenge of producing flexible, realistic humanoid character controllers that can perform diverse whole-body tasks involving object interactions. This…
What can the brain teach us about building artificial intelligence?
Dileep George
This paper is the preprint of an invited commentary on Lake et al's Behavioral and Brain Sciences article titled "Building machines that learn and think like people". Lake et al's…
Hierarchical visuomotor control of humanoids
Josh Merel, Arun Ahuja, Vu Pham +5
We aim to build complex humanoid agents that integrate perception, motor control, and memory. In this work, we partly factor this problem into low-level motor control from proprioc…
Optimizing Agent Behavior over Long Time Scales by Transporting Value
Chia-Chun Hung, Timothy Lillicrap, Josh Abramson +5
Humans spend a remarkable fraction of waking life engaged in acts of "mental time travel". We dwell on our actions in the past and experience satisfaction or regret. More than mere…
Probing Physics Knowledge Using Tools from Developmental Psychology
Luis Piloto, Ari Weinstein, Dhruva TB +6
In order to build agents with a rich understanding of their environment, one key objective is to endow them with a grasp of intuitive physics; an ability to reason about three-dime…
