OpenAI has published a large-scale study on curiosity-driven learning in reinforcement learning agents. The research demonstrates that agents can achieve surprisingly good performance using only intrinsic curiosity as a reward signal, often aligning well with extrinsic rewards in benchmark environments like Atari games. The study also explored the impact of different feature spaces for calculating prediction errors, finding that while random features suffice for many benchmarks, learned features offer better generalization. However, the research identified limitations of prediction-based rewards in stochastic environments. AI
