Evolutionary Imitation Learning

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods of evolutionary imitation learning are described. For example, a computing system trains an artificial neural network (ANN) using a supervised machine learning technique according to first example data representative of a behavior to be imitated by the ANN in performing a task. The ANN is used to generate first sample data representative of a behavior of the ANN in performing the task. The computing system modifies the first sample data using a technique of evolutionary algorithm to generate second sample data according to a criterion configured to select mutations of the behavior of the ANN. The computing system further trains the ANN according to the second sample data using the supervised machine learning technique.
