Dynamics of Learning
Example
The “Aha” Effect:
1. Memorize: store history
2. Discover structure
3. Refine model
Accomplishments
Predictive theory of agent learning
Quantify structure in environment
Quantify agent modeling capacity
Fluctuations due to finite populations
Technical Approach
Dynamical systems theory for nonlinear analysis of temporal behavior
Pattern formation theory and statistical mechanics for emergent structures and functions in agent populations
Information and computation theories: a new approach to agent learning
REF: Intelligent Vehicle and Road System
Provide analytical methods and quantitative measures of vehicle-road system structure and performance
Automated design of adaptive control systems
