Abstract

This paper considers the challenge of enabling agents tolearn with as little domain-specific knowledge as possible. The maincontribution is HyperNEAT-GGP, a HyperNEAT-based General Game Playingapproach to Atari games. By leveraging the geometric regularitiespresent in the Atari game screen, HyperNEAT effectively evolvespolicies for playing two different Atari games, Asterix and Freeway.Results show that HyperNEAT-GGP outperforms existing benchmarks onthese games. HyperNEAT-GGP represents a step towards the ambitiousgoal of creating an agent capable of learning and seamlesslytransitioning between many different tasks.
