What Are We Curious about?

Franziska Brändle et al. Trends Cogn Sci. 2020 Sep.

Abstract

What are we curious about? Dubey and Griffiths propose a rational theory of curiosity that unifies previously contradictory novelty-based and complexity accounts. It also paves the way for future investigations, such as studying approximate models of curiosity as well as what causes abnormal levels of exploration.

Keywords: Curiosity; Exploration; Novelty; Reinforcement learning.
