Mohamed Oubbati, Paul Levi, and Michael Schanz A FIXED-WEIGHT RNN DYNAMIC CONTROLLER FOR MULTIPLE MOBILE ROBOTS ================================================================================================== Abstract: "...... The controller is properly trained to exhibit adaptive behaviour after its weights have been fixed. ..." => true? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The adaptive behaviour of RNNs with fixed weights is named differently. It is termed gmeta-learningh in [6], and gaccommodativeh in [7]." [6] Prokhorov, D., Feldkamp, L., and I. Tyukin, Adaptive Behavior with Fixed Weights in Recurrent Neural Networks: An Overview, Int. Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Honolulu, Hawaii, May 2002. => done [7] J. Lo, Adaptive vs. Accommodative Neural networks for Adaptive System Identification, Int. Joint Conf. on Neural Networks, 2001, 2001-2006. => done -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Adaptation here is [sic] ... to adjust its behaviour to these changes, without changing any synaptic weight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the ESN controller is asked to exhibit a characteristic, normally ascribed to adaptive controllers, whose parameters change in response to an environmental change. gAdaptationh in this work is defined as the ability of the controller to recognize change only through the robot output and its own state, without changing any synaptic weight."
