In-Context Learning Explored for AI Intrinsic Curiosity

Researchers have explored whether in-context learning (ICL) capabilities of sequence models can support intrinsic curiosity in machine learning. While traditional methods for automated data selection, or "intrinsic curiosity," are computationally expensive due to required gradient descent updates, this work investigates using ICL as an update-free alternative. The study proves that in general Markov decision processes, this approach is not unbiased, but demonstrates a positive result for non-temporal settings like active learning and Bayesian Experimental Design, where ICL-derived rewards can bound and converge to true learning progress. Experiments in various environments confirm that this ICL-driven framework successfully trains curious data-collection policies. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and effective AI data collection strategies by leveraging in-context learning.

    Can In-Context Learning Support Intrinsic Curiosity?

    Effective machine learning depends not only on how we model data, but also on what data we choose to collect. While large sequence models have revolutionized data modeling, the problem of automated data selection, or "intrinsic curiosity", remains a significant challenge. Classic…
