Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Actor-Critic methods integrate policy-based and value-based approaches.

    “Actor-Critic methods are a widely used class of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms that integrate both policy-based and value-based approaches [80,81].”
  • Attributions of causality are a precondition for learning.

    “Such attributions of causality are a precondition for learning,2”
  • In this framework, actions are triggered by goals through prediction errors, whereas in most reinforcement learning schemes, responses are triggered by stimuli via associative links and prediction errors have only a role in learning.

    “Another distinguishing aspect is that, in this framework, actions are triggered by goals through prediction errors, whereas in most reinforcement learning schemes, responses are triggered by stimuli via associative links – and prediction errors have only a role in learning (e.g., using Temporal Difference learning) (Sutton and Barto, 1998).”

    From Active Inference, homeostatic regulation and adaptive behavioural control (2015) · cites this paper as Sutton and Barto, 1998

  • Neural correlates of reward valuation have been interpreted in the framework of reinforcement learning (RL) theory.

    “and interpreted in the framework of reinforcement learning (RL) theory4-5.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
