Abstract

We treat information gathering as a POMDP in which the goal is to maximize an accumulated intrinsic reward at each time step based on the negative entropy of the agent's beliefs about the world state. We show that such information foraging agents can discover intelligent exploration policies that take into account the long-term effects of sensor and motor actions, and can automatically adapt to variations in sensor noise, different amounts of prior information, and limited memory conditions.
