Query: Learning to Look Around: Intelligently Exploring Unseen Environments for
  Unknown Tasks   It is common to implicitly assume access to intelligently captured inputs
(e.g., photos from a human photographer), yet autonomously capturing good
observations is itself a major challenge. We address the problem of learning to
look around: if a visual agent has the ability to voluntarily acquire new views
to observe its environment, how can it learn efficient exploratory behaviors to
acquire informative observations? We propose a reinforcement learning solution,
where the agent is rewarded for actions that reduce its uncertainty about the
unobserved portions of its environment. Based on this principle, we develop a
recurrent neural network-based approach to perform active completion of
panoramic natural scenes and 3D object shapes. Crucially, the learned policies
are not tied to any recognition task nor to the particular semantic content
seen during training. As a result, 1) the learned "look around" behavior is
relevant even for new tasks in unseen environments, and 2) training data
acquisition involves no manual labeling. Through tests in diverse settings, we
demonstrate that our approach learns useful generic policies that transfer to
new unseen tasks and environments. Completion episodes are shown at
