Patent number: 11328183Abstract: A neural network system is proposed. The neural network can be trained by model-based reinforcement learning to select actions to be performed by an agent interacting with an environment, to perform a task in an attempt to achieve a specified result. The system may comprise at least one imagination core which receives a current observation characterizing a current state of the environment, and optionally historical observations, and which includes a model of the environment. The imagination core may be configured to output trajectory data in response to the current observation, and/or historical observations. The trajectory data comprising a sequence of future features of the environment imagined by the imagination core. The system may also include a rollout encoder to encode the features, and an output stage to receive data derived from the rollout embedding and to output action policy data for identifying an action based on the current observation.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: DeepMind Technologies LimitedInventors: Daniel Pieter Wierstra, Yujia Li, Razvan Pascanu, Peter William Battaglia, Theophane Guillaume Weber, Lars Buesing, David Paul Reichert, Arthur Clement Guez, Danilo Jimenez Rezende, Adrià Puigdomènech Badia, Oriol Vinyals, Nicolas Manfred Otto Heess, Sebastien Henri Andre Racaniere
