Information theoretic analysis of computational models as a tool to understand the neural basis of behaviors

no code implementations2 Jun 2021 Madhavun Candadai

In this work, I provide an introduction, a review and discussion to make a case for how information theoretic analysis of computational models is a potent research methodology to help us better understand the neural basis of behavior.

On Training Flexible Robots using Deep Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations29 Jun 2019 Zach Dwiel, Madhavun Candadai, Mariano Phielipp

The use of robotics in controlled environments has flourished over the last several decades and training robots to perform tasks using control strategies developed from dynamical models of their hardware have proven very effective.

Hierarchical Policy Learning is Sensitive to Goal Space Design

no code implementations4 May 2019 Zach Dwiel, Madhavun Candadai, Mariano Phielipp, Arjun K. Bansal

Hierarchy in reinforcement learning agents allows for control at multiple time scales yielding improved sample efficiency, the ability to deal with long time horizons and transferability of sub-policies to tasks outside the training distribution.

Multifunctionality in embodied agents: Three levels of neural reuse

no code implementations12 Feb 2018 Madhavun Candadai, Eduardo Izquierdo

Further, we lay out the different levels at which neural reuse can occur through a dynamical filtering of the brain-body-environment system's operation: structural network, autonomous dynamics, and transient dynamics.
