Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programs for learning to control an embodied agent to perform tasks. The techniques use internal, “intra-agent” speech when learning, and are thus able to perform tasks involving new objects without any direct experience of interacting with those objects, i.e. zero-shot. Implementations of the techniques use an image captioning neural network system to generate natural language captions used when training an action selection neural network system.
