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

Motivated Reinforcement Learning
TL;DR: The standard reinforcement learning view of the involvement of neuromodulatory systems in instrumental conditioning includes a rather straightforward conception of motivation as prediction of sum future reward.

A fuzzy Actor-Critic reinforcement learning network
TL;DR: A new fuzzy Actor-Critic reinforcement learning network (FACRLN) based on a fuzzy radial basis function (FRBF) neural network is proposed, which is able to adjust its structure and parameters in an adaptive way with a novel self-organizing approach according to the complexity of the task and the progress in learning.
Reinforcement learning models of the dopamine system and their behavioral implications
TL;DR: This thesis aims to improve theories of how the brain functions and to provide a framework to guide future neuroscientific experiments by making use of theoretical and algorithmic ideas from computer science around the detailed understanding of the dopamine system.

Scaling reinforcement learning to robotics by exploiting the subsumption architecture
TL;DR: This paper shows how problems are overcome by using a subsumption architecture: each module can be given its own simple reward function, and state history information can be easily encoded in a module's applicability predicate.

Toshiyuki Kondo,Koji Ito +1 more
TL;DR: An adaptive state recruitment strategy for NGnet-based actor-critic RL that enables the learning system to rearrange/divide its state space gradually according to the task complexity and the progress of learning is proposed.

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.
