title: May We Have Your Attention: Analysis of a Selective Attention Task creator: Goldenberg, Eldan creator: Garcowski, Jacob R creator: Beer, Randall D subject: Dynamical Systems subject: Artificial Intelligence description: In this paper we present a deeper analysis than has previously been carried out of a selective attention problem, and the evolution of continuous-time recurrent neural networks to solve it. We show that the task has a rich structure, and agents must solve a variety of subproblems to perform well. We consider the relationship between the complexity of an agent and the ease with which it can evolve behavior that generalizes well across subproblems, and demonstrate a shaping protocol that improves generalization. publisher: MIT Press (Bradford Books) contributor: Schaal, Stefan contributor: Ijspeert, Auke contributor: Billard, Aude contributor: Vijayakumar, Sethu contributor: Hallam, John contributor: Meyer, Jean-Arcady date: 2004 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/4950/1/GoldenbergGarcowskiSAB04.pdf identifier: Goldenberg, Eldan and Garcowski, Jacob R and Beer, Randall D (2004) May We Have Your Attention: Analysis of a Selective Attention Task.
