intrinsic motivation

The unlearnability, high-dimensionality, and unboundedness of the real world necessitates the integration of intrinsic motivation with other developmental constraints, such as sensorimotor primitives, task space representations, maturational mechanisms, and social guidance.

Provides an overview of a curiosity-driven paradigm and relates the results back to the evolutionary process.

The Control What You Can (CWYC) method learns to control components of the environment to achieve multi-step goals by combining task planning with surprise and learning progress based intrinsic motivation.
