Abstract

One mechanism for an intelligent agent to adapt to substantial environmental changes is to change its decision making structure. Pervious work in this area has developed a context-dependent behavior selection architecture that uses structure change, i.e., changing the mutual inhibition structures of a behavior network, as the main mechanism to generate different behavior patterns according to different behavioral contexts. Given the important of network structure, this work investigates how the structure of a behavior network can be learned. We developed a structure learning method based on generic algorithm and applied it to a model crayfish that needs to survive in a simulated environment. The model crayfish is controlled by a mutual inhibition behavior network, whose structures are learned using the GA-based algorithm for different environment configurations. The results show that it is possible to learn robust and consistent network structures allowing intelligent agents to behave adaptively in a particular environment.
