Abstract
This paper investigates a computational approach to transfer: the ability to
use previously learned knowledge on related but distinct tasks. We study
transfer in the context of an agent architecture, Icarus, and we claim that
many forms of transfer follow automatically from its use of structured
concepts and skills. We show that Icarus can acquire structured
representations from domain experience, and subsequently transfer that
knowledge into new tasks. We present results from multiple experiments in the
Urban Combat Testbed, a simulated, real-time, three-dimensional environment
with realistic dynamics.
