Résumé

Creating interactive characters is one of the most challenging tasks of videogame design. In order to facilitate such an endeavor, we introduce a decisional and behavior synthesis architecture integrated in the game engine Unity3D. A distinguishing feature of this architecture is that it embraces embodied cognition principles and uses them as implementation requirements. From these, we derive an architecture, which is based on a novel combination of previously proposed systems, together with some simplifications. We also argue that the architecture proposed has properties-modularity, scalability, and stability-which can he beneficial for its practical industrial adoption, particularly in the context of the recent improvement in machine learning techniques. Artificial intelligence is a quite technical domain, and we believe such a tool can facilitate interactive character creation by creative minds in industrial applications.

The complexity of today's autonomous robots poses a major challenge for Artificial Intelligence. These robots are equipped with sophisticated sensors and mechanical abilities that allow them to enter our homes and interact with humans. For example, today's robots are almost all equipped with vision and several of them can move over rough terrain with wheels or legs. The methods developed so far in Artificial Intelligence, however, are not yet ready to cope with the complexity of the information gathered through the robot sensors and the need for rapid action in partially unknown and dynamic environments. In this thesis, I will argue that the apparent complexity of the environment and of the robot brain can be significantly simplified if perception, behavior, and learning are allowed to co-develop on the same time scale. In doing so, robots become sensitive to, and actively exploit, characteristics of the environment that they can tackle within their own computational and physical constraints. This line of work is grounded on philosophical and psychological research showing that perception is an active process mediated by behavior. However, computational models of active vision are very rare and often rely on architectures that are preprogrammed to detect certain characteristics of the environment. Previous work have shown that complex visual tasks, such as position and size invariant shape recognition as well as navigation, can be tackled with remarkably simple neural architectures generated by a coevolutionary process of active vision and feature selection. Behavioral machines equipped with primitive vision systems and direct pathways between visual and motor neurons were evolved while freely interacting with their environments. I proceed further on this line of investigation and describe the application of this methodology in three situations, namely car driving with an omnidirectional camera, goal-oriented navigation of a humanoid robot, and cooperative tasks by two agents. I will show that these systems develop sensitivity to a number of oriented, retinotopic, visual features – oriented edges, corners, height – and a behavioral repertoire to locate, bring, and keep these features in sensitive regions of the vision system that allow them to accomplish their goals. In a second set of experiments, I will show that active vision can be exploited by the robot to perform anticipatory exploration of the environment in a task that requires landmark-based navigation. Evolved robots exploit an internal expectation system that makes use of active exploration to check for expected events in the environment. I will describe a third set of experiments where, in addition to an evolutionary process, the visual system of the robot can develop receptive fields by means of unsupervised Hebbian learning and show that these receptive fields are significantly affected by the behavior of the system and differ from those predicted by most computational models of visual cortex. Finally, I will show that these robots replicate the performance deficiencies observed in experiments of motor deprivation with kitten when they are exposed to the same type of motor deprivations. Furthermore, the analyses of our robot brains suggest an explanation for the deficiencies observed in kitten that have not yet been fully understood.

From Human-Designed Convolutional Neural Networks Towards Robust Neural Architecture Search

Artificial intelligence has been an ultimate design goal since the inception of computers decades ago. Among the many attempts towards general artificial intelligence, modern machine learning successfully tackles many complex problems thanks to the progress in deep learning, and in particular in convolutional neural networks (CNN). To design a CNN for a specific task, one common approach consists of adapting the heuristics from the pre-deep-learning era to the CNN domain. In the first part of this thesis, we introduce two methods that follow this approach: i) We build a covariance descriptor, i.e., a local descriptor that is suitable for texture recognition, to replace the first-order fully connected layers in an ordinary CNN, showing that such a descriptor yields state-of-the-art performance on many fine-grained image classification tasks with orders of magnitude fewer feature dimensions; ii) we develop a light-weight recurrent U-Net for image semantic segmentation, inspired by the biological eye saccadic movements, that yields real-time predictions on devices with limited computational resources. As most methods pre-dating automatic machine learning (AutoML), the two above-mentioned CNNs were human-designed. In the past few years, however, neural architecture search~(NAS), which aims to facilitate the design of deep networks for new tasks, has drawn an increasing attention. In this context, the weight-sharing approach, which consists of utilizing a super-net to encompass all possible architectures within a search space, has become a de facto standard in NAS because it enables the search to be done on commodity hardware. In the second part of this thesis, we then provide an in-depth study of recent weight-sharing NAS algorithms. First, we discover a phenomenon in the weight-sharing NAS training pipeline, which we dub multi-model forgetting, that negatively impacts the super-net quality, and propose a statistically motivated approach to address it. Subsequently, we find that (i) on average, many popular NAS algorithms perform similarly to a random architecture sampling policy; (ii) the widely-adopted weight sharing strategy degrades the ranking of the NAS candidates to the point of not reflecting their true performance, thus reducing the effectiveness of the search process. We then further decouple weight sharing from the NAS sampling policy, and isolate 14 factors that play a key role in the success of super-net training. Finally, to improve the super-net quality, we propose a regularization term that aims to maximize the correlation between the performance rankings of the super-net and of the stand-alone architectures using a small set of landmark architectures.
