Workshop: Intrinsically Motivated Open-ended Learning (IMOL) Workshop
Why Open-Ended Agency Should be Formalized on Hierarchical Empowerment-Gain Maximization
Thomas Ringstrom
Keywords: [ Reward-free ] [ Planning ] [ Hierarchical Empowerment ] [ intrinsic motivation ]
We argue that reward-maximization is insufficient as an objective for open-ended agency due to the complexity of the control problems. Instead, we argue that the intrinsic motivation metric of hierarchical empowerment might be particularly powerful for generating goals for life-long agents.
