Universal Artificial Intelligence by M. Hutter, Neocortical Mini-Columns in Reinforcement Learning Context, Creativity & Virtual Worlds - at AGI 2010

Selection of recommended talks on AGI 2010 conference:

Marcus Hutter - Universal Artificial Intelligence, AGI 2010



Tutorial on Mini-Column Hypothesis in the Context of Neural Mechanisms of Reinforcement Learning - by Randal A. Koene, AGI 2010





Related to M. Hutter - Jurgen Schmidhuber notices that reinforcement learning needs many steps, many decision points, and marks compression progress as an abstract form of reward for cognitive processes:

The following one is mostly to get familiar about the state of the art of Virtual Worlds simulations for AGI - it seems pretty primitive... Taking into account also the demos with reinforcement learning agents in other talks, where the agents play simple games such as Pacman, "Pocman" (partially-observable environment), tic-tac-toe or tank games, or the dogs in Ben Goertzel's demo which learn to carry the object back to their master (coordinates of a bounding rectangle)...

I've been speculating about different virtual world systems for AGI seed AI and other intelligent agents experiments myself, but it was some 6 years ago; wished to start experimenting in formalizing so called my "Teenage Theory of Mind and Universe" and testing it in such worlds, but it was for a short time, and it has left as just ideas because of all the other stuff I had to deal with. However I am back, and certainly there's a lot of work to be done in this field.
