Learning stochastic filtering

Rahul O. Ramakrishnan, Andrea Auconi, Benjamin M. Friedrich

We quantify the performance of approximations to stochastic filtering by the Kullback-Leibler divergence to the optimal Bayesian filter. Using a two-state Markov process that drive…

Research Notes: Gradient sensing in Bayesian chemotaxis

Andrea Auconi, Maja Novak, Benjamin M. Friedrich

Bayesian chemotaxis is an information-based target search problem inspired by biological chemotaxis. It is defined by a decision strategy coupled to the dynamic estimation of targe…

Synchronization in cilia carpets and the Kuramoto model with local coupling: breakup of global synchronization in the presence of noise

Anton Solovev, Benjamin M. Friedrich

Carpets of beating cilia represent a paradigmatic example of self-organized synchronization of noisy biological oscillators, characterized by traveling waves of cilia phase. We pre…

Composite search of active particles in three-dimensional space based on non-directional cues

Justus A. Kromer, Andrea Auconi, Benjamin M. Friedrich

We theoretically address minimal search strategies of active, self-propelled particles towards hidden targets in three-dimensional space. The particles can sense if a target is clo…

Fluctuation-response theorem for Kullback-Leibler divergences to quantify causation

Andrea Auconi, Benjamin M. Friedrich, Andrea Giansanti

We define a new measure of causation from a fluctuation-response theorem for Kullback-Leibler divergences, based on the information-theoretic cost of perturbations. This informatio…

Synchronization in cilia carpets: multiple metachronal waves are stable, but one wave dominates

Anton Solovev, Benjamin M. Friedrich

Carpets of actively bending cilia represent arrays of biological oscillators that can exhibit self-organized metachronal synchronization in the form of traveling waves of cilia pha…
