【Title】Coupled Empowerment Maximization
- ​From Single Agent Intrinsic Motivation to Social Intrinsic Motivation
【Abstract】
Can we use the single agent intrinsic motivation of empowerment to define generic, multi agent behaviour? I will first introduce empowerment, an information-theoretic formalism that measures how much an agent is in control of its own perceivable future. Everything else being equal, one should keep their options open. After briefly discussing the possible relationship to agency itself, I will show simulation results to demonstrate some of empowerment properties – namely its ability to deal with and react appropriately to changing embodiments, and how it can even restructure its own environment. The focus of the talk will then shift to coupled empowerment maximisation, where a combination of different empowerment perspectives is used to design generic companion and antagonist behaviour. After demonstrating this in a few, game-based settings, I will detail the opportunities and challenges with this approach. One being the importance of a forward model when dealing with other agents. The other being the relationship between relevancy and the information decomposition of one’s sensor input. ​
