Grounded world models in biological organisms and future embodied AI
Giovanni Pezzulo, Davide Nuzzi, Marco D'Alessandro +3
Recent advances in generative and embodied AI have been driven by large-scale predictive learning over multimodal data. However, the resulting systems remain largely based on passi…
A Rate-Distortion Perspective on the Emergence of Number Sense in Unsupervised Generative Models
Leo D'Amato, Davide Nuzzi, Alberto Testolin +3
Number sense is a core cognitive ability supporting various adaptive behaviors and is foundational for mathematical learning. Here, we study its emergence in unsupervised generativ…
What the flock knows that the birds do not: exploring the emergence of joint agency in multi-agent active inference
Domenico Maisto, Davide Nuzzi, Giovanni Pezzulo
Collective behavior pervades biological systems, from flocks of birds to neural assemblies and human societies. Yet, how such collectives acquire functional properties -- such as j…
Structuring the Environment Nudges Participants Toward Hierarchical Over Shortest Path Planning
Valeria Simonelli, Davide Nuzzi, Gian Luca Lancia +1
Effective planning is crucial for navigating complex environments and achieving goals efficiently. In this study, we investigated how environmental structure influences the selecti…
Human foraging strategies flexibly adapt to resource distribution and time constraints
Valeria Simonelli, Davide Nuzzi, Gian Luca Lancia +1
Foraging is a crucial activity, yet the extent to which humans employ flexible versus rigid strategies remains unclear. This study investigates how individuals adapt their foraging…
Full-magnetic implementation of a classical Toffoli gate
Davide Nuzzi, Leonardo Banchi, Ruggero Vaia +4
The Toffoli gate is the essential ingredient for reversible computing, an energy efficient classical computational paradigm that evades the energy dissipation resulting from Landau…
