Microlensing Results Challenge the Core Accretion Runaway Growth Scenario for Gas Giants
Daisuke Suzuki, David P. Bennett, Shigeru Ida +14
We compare the planet-to-star mass-ratio distribution measured by gravitational microlensing to core accretion theory predictions from population synthesis models. The core accreti…
On the potential for open-endedness in neural networks
Nicholas Guttenberg, Nathaniel Virgo, Alexandra Penn
Natural evolution gives the impression of leading to an open-ended process of increasing diversity and complexity. If our goal is to produce such open-endedness artificially, this…
Being curious about the answers to questions: novelty search with learned attention
Nicholas Guttenberg, Martin Biehl, Nathaniel Virgo +1
We investigate the use of attentional neural network layers in order to learn a `behavior characterization' which can be used to drive novelty search and curiosity-based policies.…
Exoplanet Science Priorities from the Perspective of Internal and Surface Processes for Silicate and Ice Dominated Worlds
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Avi M. Mandell +35
The geophysics of extrasolar planets is a scientific topic often regarded as standing largely beyond the reach of near-term observations. This reality in no way diminishes the cent…
Chemical Heredity as Group Selection at the Molecular Level
Omer Markovitch, Olaf Witkowski, Nathaniel Virgo
Many examples of cooperation exist in biology. In chemical systems however, which can sometimes be quite complex, we do not appear to observe intricate cooperative interactions. A…
The Moist Greenhouse is Sensitive to Stratospheric Temperature
Ramses M. Ramirez
In this Research Note, I use my single-column climate model to explicitly show that the moist greenhouse surface temperature threshold is sensitive to stratospheric temperature. I…
