This research investigates how Transformer-based agents infer hidden rules in the Game of Hidden Rules, analyzing transfer learning capabilities and generalization across different representation designs. By comparing pseudo-bot-assisted human learning data with agent performance, the study offers critical insights into the mechanisms of conceptual transfer within reinforcement learning frameworks.
AI Learning and Conceptual Transfer in the Game of Hidden Rules
arXiv:2608.21372v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This report summarizes the work conducted on the Game of Hidden Rules (GOHR), focusing on reinforcement learning agents trained to infer hidden rules from trial-and-error feedback, representation design, rule difficulty analysis, transfer learning, generalization, and pseudo-bot-assisted human learning analysis. The report focuses on the Transformer-based A2C framework, Feature-Centric and Object-Centric representations, experimental findings, and classification of human learning data.
