Title
Prioritized Sweeping Neural DynaQ with Multiple Predecessors, and Hippocampal Replays.
Abstract
During sleep and wakeful rest, the hippocampus replays sequences of place cells that have been activated during prior experiences. These replays have been interpreted as a memory consolidation process, but recent results suggest a possible interpretation in terms of reinforcement learning. The Dyna reinforcement learning algorithms use off-line replays to improve learning. Under limited replay budget, prioritized sweeping, which requires a model of the transitions to the predecessors, can be used to improve performance. We investigate if such algorithms can explain the experimentally observed replays. We propose a neural network version of prioritized sweeping Q-learning, for which we developed a growing multiple expert algorithm, able to cope with multiple predecessors. The resulting architecture is able to improve the learning of simulated agents confronted to a navigation task. We predict that, in animals, learning the transition and reward models should occur during rest periods, and that the corresponding replays should be shuffled.
