Learning to model other minds

OpenAI Blog · 8 years ago

An algorithm called Learning with Opponent-Learning Awareness (LOLA) has been developed to enable agents to account for the fact that other agents are simultaneously learning. LOLA discovered self-interested yet collaborative strategies such as tit-for-tat in the iterated prisoner's dilemma without being explicitly programmed to do so. The approach represents progress toward building artificial agents capable of modeling the mental states and learning processes of other agents.
