CHILD: A FIRST STEP TOWARDS CONTINUAL LEARNING
by Mark B. Ring
Continual learning is the constant development of increasingly complex
behaviors; the process of building more complicated skills on top of
those already developed. A continual-learning agent should therefore
learn incrementally and hierarchically. This paper describes CHILD,
an agent capable of Continual, Hierarchical, Incremental Learning and
Development. CHILD can quickly solve complicated non-Markovian
reinforcement-learning tasks and can then transfer its skills to
similar but even more complicated tasks, learning these faster still.
