BEGAN ( a GAN that works like a VAE, in that you can interpolate all the latent vectors )

(x, y, P-touch, P-lift, P-end) as a row of data

RNN -> latent vector -> add gaussian noise to latent vector -> decode RNN

World models

  • purpose: to understand how ml models learn abstract representations of the world

echo state networks?

creatures avoiding planks

  • with random nn weights
  • if they touch a tank they die
  • if they bump into another agent, they grow little neural networks
