摘要:

人工智能中的一个开放问题在于,系统如何灵活地学习离散抽象,从而有助于解决本质上连续的问题。计算神经科学的先前工作已在主动推理的形式体系下考虑了决策过程中离散变量与连续变量的这种功能整合(Parr, Friston & de Vries, 2017; Parr & Friston, 2018)。然而,他们的关注点在于范畴决策的表达性物理实现,并且假定分层混合生成模型是已知的。因此,尚不清楚该框架如何扩展到学习。为此,我们提出了一种新颖的分层混合主动推理智能体,其中高层离散主动推理规划器位于低层连续主动推理控制器之上。我们利用了近期关于循环切换线性动力系统(rSLDS)的研究,该系统通过对复杂连续动力学的分段线性分解,实现了对有意义离散表示的端到端学习(Linderman et al., 2016)。由rSLDS学习到的表示为混合决策智能体的结构提供信息,并使我们能够(1)以类似于options框架的方式指定时间抽象的次级目标,(2)将探索提升到离散空间,从而允许我们利用信息论探索奖励,以及(3)在离散规划器中“缓存”低层问题的近似解。我们将模型应用于稀疏Continuous Mountain Car任务,展示了通过增强探索实现的快速系统辨识,以及通过抽象次级目标的划分实现的成功规划。

英文摘要:

An open problem in artificial intelligence is how systems can flexibly learn discrete abstractions that are useful for solving inherently continuous problems. Previous work in computational neuroscience has considered this functional integration of discrete and continuous variables during decision-making under the formalism of active inference (Parr, Friston & de Vries, 2017; Parr & Friston, 2018). However, their focus is on the expressive physical implementation of categorical decisions and the hierarchical mixed generative model is assumed to be known. As a consequence, it is unclear how this framework might be extended to learning. We therefore present a novel hierarchical hybrid active inference agent in which a high-level discrete active inference planner sits above a low-level continuous active inference controller. We make use of recent work in recurrent switching linear dynamical systems (rSLDS) which implement end-to-end learning of meaningful discrete representations via the piecewise linear decomposition of complex continuous dynamics (Linderman et al., 2016). The representations learned by the rSLDS inform the structure of the hybrid decision-making agent and allow us to (1) specify temporally-abstracted sub-goals in a method reminiscent of the options framework, (2) lift the exploration into discrete space allowing us to exploit information-theoretic exploration bonuses and (3) `cache' the approximate solutions to low-level problems in the discrete planner. We apply our model to the sparse Continuous Mountain Car task, demonstrating fast system identification via enhanced exploration and successful planning through the delineation of abstract sub-goals.
