| Abstract English |
A developing system must be able to learn new things without forgetting what it has learned before. It should be capable of reacting in different ways to the same stimuli in different contexts. Context sensitive reinforcement learning, which parallels some of the functions of the basal ganglia, is a learning algorithm that fulfills this requirement when the context is explicitly given. Here, we extend the algorithm with the ability to identify the relevant features of the environment that defines the context. It is suggested that this is a critical component of an architecture for cognitive development and we present simulation results that illustrate the operation of the system. |
