AttentionAgent learned to attend to task critical regions in its visual inputs. In a car driving task (CarRacing, top row), the agent mostly attends to the road borders, but shifts its focus to the turns before it changes heading directions. In a fireball dodging game (DoomTakeCover, bottom row), the agent focuses on fireballs and enemy monsters. Left: Visual inputs to the agent.
