In this paper we explain the strikingly regular activity of the 'grid' cells in rodent dorsal medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) and the spatially localized activity of the hippocampal place cells in CA3 and CA1 by assuming that the…
Effective human-AI coordination requires artificial agents capable of exhibiting and responding to human-like behaviors while adapting to changing contexts. Imitation learning has emerged as one of the prominent approaches to build such…
Learning anticipation is a reasoning paradigm in multi-agent reinforcement learning, where agents, during learning, consider the anticipated learning of other agents. There has been substantial research into the role of learning…
