Generation and Selection of Sensory Channels

. Sensory channels determine the way an agent views the world. We investigate the question of how sensory channels may be autonomously constructed using generation and selection. The context is the discrimination of geometric shapes. In a first experiment, elements of a solution were attributed fitness based on the part of the problem they solved. In two subsequent experiments, cooperation between elements was respectively required and encouraged by means of a fitness function which only rewards complete solutions. Differences between the approaches are discussed, and generation and selection is concluded to provide a successful mechanism for the autonomous construction of sensory channels. Introduction The discrimination game, introduced in [7], was developed for the investigation of category formation. The direct objective of a discrimination game is to distinguish a randomly selected object, called the topic, from the rest of the objects in a scene. Information is distill..
