GoodAI researchers developed BADGER, a meta-learning architecture where a single agent comprises homogeneous experts with a shared policy that communicate internally to learn adaptation algorithms. Initial studies on toy-tasks demonstrate the system's ability to generalize to varying problem dimensions and improve performance by adding more experts, showcasing emergent learning behavior.
Key insights
- Complex adaptive systems in nature demonstrate that intelligence can emerge from networks of communicating agents operating under shared principles.
- Constraining all internal "experts" to use a single, homogeneous policy compels task-specific learning and adaptation to emerge from dynamic communication and internal state changes.
- Automated discovery of a "universal expert policy" can lead to the emergence of diverse learning strategies for novel challenges without hand-designing them.
