Information Theory of Sensorimotor Loops

Working Group

October 08, 2013 - October 11, 2013
Collins Conference Room

This working group meeting is for collaborative research between the group of Nihat Ay at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics/Santa Fe Institute and the group of Fritz Sommer at UC Berkeley. The two groups would like to continue a collaboration on developing information-theoretic objectives of learning in sensorimotor loops. In this particular working group meeting they will explore the relationship of different information measures that have been developed independently in both groups and how they could be combined in guiding behavior of embodied agents.

SFI Host: Nihat Ay and Friedrich T. Sommer
