Intrinsically Motivated Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

Psychologists call behavior intrinsically motivated when it is engaged in for its own sake rather than as a step toward solving a specific problem of clear practical value. But what we learn during intrinsically motivated behavior is essential for our development as competent autonomous en- tities able to efficiently solve a wide range of practical problems as they arise. In this paper we present initial results from a computational study of intrinsically motivated reinforcement learning aimed at allowing arti- ficial agents to construct and extend hierarchies of reusable skills that are needed for competent autonomy.
