Abstract
Described is a system for improving generalization of an agent, such as an autonomous vehicle, to unanticipated environmental changes. A set of concepts from the agent's experiences of an environment are extracted and consolidated into an episodic world model. Using the episodic world model, a dream sequence of prospective simulations, based on a selected set of concepts and constrained by the environment's semantics and dynamics, is generated. The dream sequence is converted into a sensor data format, which is used for augmented training of the agent to operate in the environment with improved generalization to unanticipated changes in the environment.
