Title
Backpropagation without human supervision for visual control in quake II
Abstract
Backpropagation and neuroevolution are used in a Lamarckian evolution process to train a neural network visual controller for agents in the Quake II environment. In previous work, we hand-coded a non-visual controller for supervising in backpropagation, but hand-coding can only be done for problems with known solutions. In this research the problem for the agent is to attack a moving enemy in a visually complex room with a large central pillar. Because we did not know a solution to the problem, we could not hand-code a supervising controller; instead, we evolve a non-visual neural network as supervisor to the visual controller. This setup creates controllers that learn much faster and have a greater fitness than those learning by neuroevolution-only on the same problem in the same amount of time.
