Neuronlike adaptive elements that can solve difficult learning control problems

TLDR
In this article, a system consisting of two neuron-like adaptive elements can solve a difficult learning control problem, where the task is to balance a pole that is hinged to a movable cart by applying forces to the cart base.
Abstract
It is shown how a system consisting of two neuronlike adaptive elements can solve a difficult learning control problem. The task is to balance a pole that is hinged to a movable cart by applying forces to the cart's base. It is argued that the learning problems faced by adaptive elements that are components of adaptive networks are at least as difficult as this version of the pole-balancing problem. The learning system consists of a single associative search element (ASE) and a single adaptive critic element (ACE). In the course of learning to balance the pole, the ASE constructs associations between input and output by searching under the influence of reinforcement feedback, and the ACE constructs a more informative evaluation function than reinforcement feedback alone can provide. The differences between this approach and other attempts to solve problems using neurolike elements are discussed, as is the relation of this work to classical and instrumental conditioning in animal learning studies and its possible implications for research in the neurosciences.

Acquisition of dynamic control knowledge for a robotic manipulator

TL;DR: A method of learning in which all the experiences in the lifetime of the robot are explicitly remembered are stored in a manner which permits fast recall of the closest previous experience to any new situation, which leads to a very high rate of learning of the robotic kinematics and dynamics.

A reinforcement learning approach to obstacle avoidance of mobile robots

TL;DR: A discrete coding of the input space using a neural network structure is presented as opposed to the commonly used continuous internal representation of the environment, which enables a faster and more efficient convergence of the reinforcement learning process.

An adaptive fuzzy logic controller: its VLSI architecture and applications

TL;DR: Taking advantage of the adaptability provided by a symbolic fuzzy rule format and the dynamic membership function generator, as well as the high-speed integration capability afforded by VLSI, the proposed adaptive fuzzy logic controller (AFLC) can perform an adaptive fuzzy inference process using various inference parameters, dynamically and quickly.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex

TL;DR: This method is used to examine receptive fields of a more complex type and to make additional observations on binocular interaction and this approach is necessary in order to understand the behaviour of individual cells, but it fails to deal with the problem of the relationship of one cell to its neighbours.

A Theory of Cerebellar Cortex

TL;DR: A detailed theory of cerebellar cortex is proposed whose consequence is that the cerebellum learns to perform motor skills and two forms of input—output relation are described, both consistent with the cortical theory.

Receptive fields and functional architecture in two nonstriate visual areas (18 and 19) of the cat.

TL;DR: To UNDERSTAND VISION in physiological terms represents a formidable problem for the biologist, and one approach is to stimulate the retina with patterns of light while recording from single cells or fibers at various points along the visual pathway.

Toward a modern theory of adaptive networks: Expectation and prediction.

TL;DR: The adaptive element presented learns to increase its response rate in anticipation of increased stimulation, producing a conditioned response before the occurrence of the unconditioned stimulus, and is in strong agreement with the behavioral data regarding the effects of stimulus context.

Steps toward Artificial Intelligence

TL;DR: The problems of heuristic programming can be divided into five main areas: Search, Pattern-Recognition, Learning, Planning, and Induction as discussed by the authors, and the most successful heuristic (problem-solving) programs constructed to date.
