建立能够参与与人类社会互动的自治代理是AI的主要挑战之一。在深度加强学习（DRL）领域内，这一目标激励了多种作品上体现语言使用。然而，目前的方法在非常简化和非多样化的社交场合中关注语言作为通信工具：语言的“自然”减少到高词汇大小和变异性的概念。在本文中，我们认为针对人类级别的AI需要更广泛的关键社交技能：1）语言在复杂和可变的社会环境中使用; 2）超越语言，在不断发展的社会世界内的多模式设置中的复杂体现通信。我们解释了认知科学的概念如何帮助AI向人类智力绘制路线图，重点关注其社会方面。作为第一步，我们建议将目前的研究扩大到更广泛的核心社交技能。为此，我们展示了使用其他（脚本）社会代理商的多个网格世界环境来评估DRL代理商社交技能的基准。然后，我们研究了最近的Sota DRL方法的限制，当时在Sowisai上进行测试并讨论熟练社会代理商的重要下一步。视频和代码可在https://sites.google.com/view/socialai找到。

Designing agents, capable of learning autonomously a wide range of skills is critical in order to increase the scope of reinforcement learning. It will both increase the diversity of learned skills and reduce the burden of manually designing reward functions for each skill. Self-supervised agents, setting their own goals, and trying to maximize the diversity of those goals have shown great promise towards this end. However, a currently known limitation of agents trying to maximize the diversity of sampled goals is that they tend to get attracted to noise or more generally to parts of the environments that cannot be controlled (distractors). When agents have access to predefined goal features or expert knowledge, absolute Learning Progress (ALP) provides a way to distinguish between regions that can be controlled and those that cannot. However, those methods often fall short when the agents are only provided with raw sensory inputs such as images. In this work we extend those concepts to unsupervised image-based goal exploration. We propose a framework that allows agents to autonomously identify and ignore noisy distracting regions while searching for novelty in the learnable regions to both improve overall performance and avoid catastrophic forgetting. Our framework can be combined with any state-of-the-art novelty seeking goal exploration approaches. We construct a rich 3D image based environment with distractors. Experiments on this environment show that agents using our framework successfully identify interesting regions of the environment, resulting in drastically improved performances.
