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.read more

A Novel Reinforcement Model of Birdsong Vocalization Learning
Kenji Doya,Terrence J. Sejnowski +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the anterior forebrain pathway, which is not needed for song production in the adult but is essential for song acquisition, provides synaptic perturbations and adaptive evaluations for syllable vocalization learning.

CMAC-based adaptive critic self-learning control
C.-S. Lin,Hyongsuk Kim +1 more
TL;DR: Instead of reserving one input line (as a memory) for each quantized state, the integrated technique distributively stores learned information; this reduces the required memory and makes the self-learning control scheme applicable to problems of larger size.

Coding proprioceptive information to control movement to a target: Simulation with a simple neural network
TL;DR: The present simulation using the back-propagation algorithm shows that a simple network of only nine units — 3 sensory input units, 3 motor output units, and 3 hidden units — suffices for representation of the stick insect's movement to a target.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
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.

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.
