Abstract:
Deep learning (DL) and reinforcement learning (RL) methods seem to be a part of indispensable factors to achieve human-level or super-human AI systems. On the other hand, both DL and RL have strong connections with our brain functions and with neuroscientific findings. In this review, we summarize talks and discussions in the "Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning" session of the symposium, International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Brain Science. In this session, we discussed whether we can achieve comprehensive understanding of human intelligence based on the recent advances of deep learning and reinforcement learning algorithms. Speakers contributed to provide talks about their recent studies that can be key technologies to achieve human-level intelligence.

Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus, increasing the frequency of that behavior. For example:

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
