💢5th International Conference on #ActiveInference (IWAI2024) 📷iwaiworkshop.github.io ⏰When: September 9-11, 2024 Where: Oxford University --Deadlines-- Abstract: May 24th, 2024 Submission: May 31st, 2024 Acceptance: July 14, 2024

We developed ‘dynamical social clamp’ (akin to ‘patch clamp’ in neuro)—using VR—allowing realtime bidirectional feedback between real and model-controlled virtual fish. We find temporal coordination considerably impacts spatial responsiveness in groups! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to share a theory of generalised coordinates for stochastic differential equations arxiv.org/abs/2409.15532 🥳 We formalise a #theory for analysing and numerically studying virtually *all* #SDEs, including those driven by coloured noise. (1/3 🧵)

1/14 Happy to share our brief and sweet results on "signatures of criticality in efficient coding networks" now in PNASNews Paper: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #tweeprint 👇

Delighted and honored to have been selected for the 2024 Vox #FuturePerfect50 list! vox.com/future-perfect… Max Planck Society Universität Konstanz Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour MPI-AB is on Bluesky @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social

Excited (& a bit terrified) to officially share our #R #package with the world 🤩 swaRmverse provides a pipeline to analyze #collective #motion #data, promoting more comparative work across the Swarm-Verse 🐐🦬🐦🐒🐟 🦖🐑🕸️ With @sjmgarnier Andrew King 🙏 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

Agents and Robots and Inference oh my! VERSES researchers are boots on the ground this week at NeurIPS Conference, the largest annual ML and AI research conference, where they will present 3 accepted papers and share several papers in associated workshops. Our Chief Scientist, Karl

How can agents with simple bio-inspired brains make decisions together? This is what we simulate in our new arXiv preprint: “Collective decision making by embodied neural agents”

Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo

o3-mini-high took 19 seconds to write a .py file to simulate the Vicsek model and animate the results. Not surprising given all the other results being shared on X with bouncing ball examples + more complex physics, but still cool :)

I’m thrilled to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. What an honour! Would not have happened without the mentors, postdocs and students who I’ve had the privilege to learn with throughout my career. ⁦Universität Konstanz⁩ ⁦Max Planck Society uni-konstanz.de/en/university/…

VERSES® Digital Brain Beats Google’s Top AI At “Gameworld 10k” Atari Challenge. Our new AXIOM model is up to 60% better, 97% more efficient and learns 39 times faster than Google® Deepmind’s DreamerV3 in third-party validated benchmark.

New paper from VERSES Research - AXIOM is a world model that learns to play pixel-based arcade games in minutes. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2505.24784 Blog: tinyurl.com/yrvj3cay Code: github.com/VersesTech/axi… 🧵
