It's Time to Move On: Primacy Bias and Why It Helps to Forget

Matthew Kielo · Vladimir Lukin

Halle B #3

Abstract:

'The Primacy Bias in Deep Reinforcement Learning' (Nikishin et al. 2022) demonstrates how the first experiences of a deep learning model can cause catastrophic memorization and how this can be prevented. In this post we describe primacy bias, summarize the authors' key findings, and present a simple environment to experiment with primacy bias.
