Emotional Preferences Regulate Goal Priorities in Reinforcement Learning Agents
This paper proposes a computational framework where higher-level goals autonomously generate state-dependent emotional preferences to regulate the priorities of competing lower-level objectives in reinforcement learning agents. It demonstrates how this emergent preference function exhibits contextual priority switching and improves performance over fixed-preference strategies in multi-objective exploration environments.
New Framework Unifies Task Detection and Adaptation for Continual Learning
This paper proposes FiUni, a Fisher-guided unified framework for task-free continual learning in LLMs that combines batch-level task detection with parameter-efficient adaptation. FiUni uses Fisher information matrix (FIM) properties to dynamically determine whether to reuse, expand, or create new low-rank adaptation (LoRA) subspaces, effectively mitigating catastrophic forgetting without explicit task boundaries.
Soft EMG Interface Enables Machine Learning-Powered Silent Speech Recognition
This paper introduces a soft, active electromyography (EMG) interface worn on the hand that enables word-level silent speech recognition (SSR) using machine learning. The device acquires stable EMG signals from a fingertip electrode near the lips, achieving 97.2% accuracy on a 30-word vocabulary and demonstrating real-time drone control in noisy environments.
