Reward Prediction for Representation Learning and Reward Shaping
One of the fundamental challenges in reinforcement learning (RL) is the one of data efficiency: modern algorithms require a very large number of training samples, especially compared to humans, for solving environments with high-dimensional observations. The severity of this problem is increased when the reward signal is sparse.

The primary visual cortex (area V1) is for vision. At least, that is what most researchers believe. However, in a recent issue of Science, Shuler and Bear demonstrate a correlate of reward timing in area V1. This surprising result indicates that brain circuits for reward processing are more extensive than expected and that area V1 has more ...

Last month, Cell Systems presented a Young Investigator Award at the International Conference on Systems Biology in Barcelona. We proposed that this year’s award recognize a compelling, clearly formulated project that required its authors to take at least one substantial risk.

REWARD: Ontology for Reward Schemes
Rewarding people is common in several contexts, such as human resource management and crowdsourcing applications. However, designing a reward strategy is not straightforward, as it requires considering different parameters. These parameters include, for example, management of rewarding tasks and identifying critical features, such as the type of ...

Finally, it is worth noting two important developments that are reflected in this issue. The first is the wide range and depth of empirical data relevant to the brain mechanisms underlying behavior that are becoming available to neuroscientists. This is, in part, a product of the explosion in technical developments that now allow us to manipulate genes,

A basic premise of optimal tax theory is that information about individuals productivity and time worked is unobservable and does not enter into the governments objective function. In this paper, we explore the implications of a framework where earning capacity both plays an intrinsic and an instrumental role.

The rewards of roughing it [PDF]
Modern life, concentrated in cities and lived online, is corroding many young people's innate love for nature. Much of science, too, is moving away from fieldwork. Biology is increasingly lab-based, and much important earth science research is now done in front of a computer screen rather than out in the physical world.

Whichever perspective you take on the “if a tree falls in the forest” question, it is certainly true that the easier a journal is to search and access, the more its content is likely to influence thinking, research and policy. With this in mind, I am happy to announce that the National Library of Medicine (NLM) recently decided to index Healthcare ...
