Tregs self-organize into a "computing ecosystem" and implement a sophisticated optimization algorithm for mediating immune response
Robert Marsland, Owen Howell, Andreas Mayer +1
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in mediating immune response. Yet an algorithmic understanding of the role of Tregs in adaptive immunity remains lacking. Here, we pr…

Machine Learning as Ecology
Owen Howell, Cui Wenping, Robert Marsland +1
Machine learning methods have had spectacular success on numerous problems. Here we show that a prominent class of learning algorithms - including Support Vector Machines (SVMs) --…

Asymptotic Prethermalization in Periodically Driven Classical Spin Chains
Owen Howell, Phillip Weinberg, Dries Sels +2
We reveal a continuous dynamical heating transition between a prethermal and an infinite-temperature stage in a clean, chaotic periodically driven classical spin chain. The transit…
