Equilibrium Pricing in Oligopolistic Data Markets
Bhaskar Ray Chaudhury, Jugal Garg, Eklavya Sharma +1
We study equilibrium pricing in oligopolistic data markets with budget-constrained buyers (e.g., machine learning companies purchasing data to improve model accuracy) and strategic…
Mass Conservation as an Inductive Bias for Self-Organized Criticality in NCA Reservoirs
Tong Zhang, Etienne Guichard, Sidney Pontes-Filho +1
Self-organized criticality (SOC), a dynamical regime associated with maximal information processing, offers a promising foundation for reservoir computing. Recent work has shown th…
MaCE: General Mass Conserving Dynamics for Cellular Automata
Vassilis Papadopoulos, Etienne Guichard
We present Mass-Conserving Evolution (MaCE), a general method for implementing mass conservation in Cellular Automata (CA). MaCE is a simple evolution rule that can be easily 'atta…
ARC-NCA: Towards Developmental Solutions to the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus
Etienne Guichard, Felix Reimers, Mia Kvalsund +2
The Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC), later renamed ARC-AGI, poses a fundamental challenge in artificial general intelligence (AGI), requiring solutions that exhibit robust a…
EngramNCA: a Neural Cellular Automaton Model of Memory Transfer
Etienne Guichard, Felix Reimers, Mia Kvalsund +2
This study introduces EngramNCA, a neural cellular automaton (NCA) that integrates both publicly visible states and private, cell-internal memory channels, drawing inspiration from…
