Brain signals of a Surprise-Actor-Critic model: Evidence for multiple learning modules in human decision making

Wulfram Gerstner, Marco Philipp Lehmann, Vasiliki Liakoni, Kerstin Preuschoff, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi

Learning how to reach a reward over long series of actions is a remarkable capability of humans, and potentially guided by multiple parallel learning modules. Current brain imaging of learning modules is limited by (i) simple experimental paradigms, (ii) e ...

Surprise-based model estimation in reinforcement learning: algorithms and brain signatures

Vasiliki Liakoni

Learning how to act and adapting to unexpected changes are remarkable capabilities of humans and other animals. In the absence of a direct recipe to follow in life, behaviour is often guided by rewarding and by surprising events. A positive or a negative o ...

Learning in Volatile Environments With the Bayes Factor Surprise

Wulfram Gerstner, Vasiliki Liakoni, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi

Surprise-based learning allows agents to rapidly adapt to nonstationary stochastic environments characterized by sudden changes. We show that exact Bayesian inference in a hierarchical model gives rise to a surprise-modulated trade-off between forgetting o ...

One-shot learning and behavioral eligibility traces in sequential decision making

Wulfram Gerstner, Marco Philipp Lehmann, Michael Herzog, Vasiliki Liakoni, Kerstin Preuschoff, He Xu

In many daily tasks, we make multiple decisions before reaching a goal. In order to learn such sequences of decisions, a mechanism to link earlier actions to later reward is necessary. Reinforcement learning (RL) theory suggests two classes of algorithms s ...
