NatureHumans learn generalizable representations through efficient coding - Nature CommunicationsReinforcement learning models of human behavior are limited in explaining the capacity for generalization. Here, the authors propose an efficient coding principle for reinforcement learning, whereby agents use compact representations, enabling human-like generalization.
