Research Abstract

This study aims at making an agent that is equipped with various "higher brain functions" including the goal-directed reasoning, the selective attention, and the use of working memory. Since it is difficult to make such an agent by hand coding, I try to use the reward maximization principle in order to make an agent that can automatically realize the functions that are suitable for its surrounding environment. In this study, I have been developing a novel method for making such an agent efficiently, based on the theory of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs).
