In vision-based algorithms, the ability to recognize and memorize a given pattern is paramount. Inspired by the delayed matching-to-sample task (DMS), an open-ended question pertaining to visual memory is posited within this series.

Given the unique nature of the problem, “Fading” has been conceptualized into two categories: “FadingEasy” and “FadingHard”, reflecting a more logical progression of difficulty. Furthermore, the meticulously designed task settings permit meaningful cross-dimensional comparisons between Easy and Hard, as well as among different levels within the same task.

Note

In the FadingEasy task, a given object will linearly fade to transparency over the span of 150 steps.

Refresh conditions:

Goal:
step = 0 or goal_achieved = True.

Obstacles:
step = 0 or cost > 0.

Rewards#

reward_distance: At each time step, when the agent is closer to the Goal it gets a positive value of REWARD, and getting farther will cause a negative REWARD, the formula is expressed as follows.

\[r_t = (D_{last} - D_{now})\beta\]

Obviously when \(D_{last} > D_{now}\), \(r_t>0\). Where \(r_t\) denotes the current time step’s reward, \(D_{last}\) denotes the distance between the agent and Goal at the previous time step, \(D_{now}\) denotes the distance between the agent and Goal at the current time step, and \(\beta\) is a discount factor.

reward_goal: Each time the Goal is reached, get a positive value of the completed goal reward: \(R_{goal}\).

Episode End#

When episode length is greater than 1000: Trucated = True.

Level0#

The Level 0 of FadingEasy requires the agent to reach the goal position. The goal will linearly disappear in 150 steps after every refresh.
