New Differentiable Algorithm Learns Cognitive Maps from Images

Researchers have developed a new algorithm called gradCSCG, which is a fully differentiable module designed to enable end-to-end learning of interpretable cognitive maps from raw image sequences. This approach builds upon the Clone-Structured Causal Graph (CSCG) model but removes the need for a predefined discrete alphabet and allows for seamless integration with neural network modules. The gradCSCG module, coupled with a VQ-VAE perceptual front-end, has demonstrated its ability to robustly recover underlying adjacency graphs from heavily aliased visual inputs, even when presented with novel images at each location, such as those sampled from the MNIST database.

    Differentiable Clone-Structured Causal Graphs for End-to-End Cognitive Map Learning from Image Sequences

    How can an agent build a structured map of its world from nothing but an ongoing sequence of raw sensory input and its own movements, especially when natural variation means exact sensory patterns rarely repeat? The Clone-Structured Causal Graph algorithm (CSCG), a normative hipp…
