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.
