Abstract

We present Deep Control – new ML architecture of cortico-striatal brain circuits, which use whole cortical column as a structural element, instead of a singe neuron. Based on this architecture, we present MARTI - new model of human brain, considering neocortex and basal ganglia. This model is designed to implement expedient behavior and is capable to learn and achieve goals in unknown environments. We introduce a novel surprise feeling mechanism, that significantly improves reinforcement learning process through inner rewards. We use OpenAI Gym environment to demonstrate MARTI learning on a single CPU just in several hours.
