Humans and other animals outperform artificial agents in various tasks and domains.
This includes but is not limited to: learning and planning in unstructured domains; learning from sparse data, observation, and play; generalisation and transfer; causal reasoning; intuitive physics and psychology; language use; any time planning; continuous planning; spatial navigation; dynamic memory and active forgetting.
This seminar provides background on some of the underlying biological skills and computational theories that seek to explain them. We will discuss implications for designing and/or constraining artificial agents.
