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…
Sleep-Based Homeostatic Regularization for Stabilizing Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity in Recurrent Spiking Neural Networks
Andreas Massey, Aliaksandr Hubin, Stefano Nichele +1
Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) provides a biologically-plausible learning mechanism for spiking neural networks (SNNs); however, Hebbian weight updates in architectures w…
Benchmarking the State of Networks with a Low-Cost Method Based on Reservoir Computing
Felix Simon Reimers, Carl-Hendrik Peters, Stefano Nichele
Using data from mobile network utilization in Norway, we showcase the possibility of monitoring the state of communication and mobility networks with a non-invasive, low-cost metho…
Reservoir Computing with Evolved Critical Neural Cellular Automata
Sidney Pontes-Filho, Stefano Nichele, Mikkel Lepperød
Criticality is a behavioral state in dynamical systems that is known to present the highest computation capabilities, i.e., information transmission, storage, and modification. The…
Frequency-Histogram Coarse Graining in Elementary Cellular Automata and 2D CA
Sanyam Jain, Stefano Nichele
Cellular automata and other discrete dynamical systems have long been studied as models of emergent complexity. Recently, neural cellular automata have been proposed as models to i…
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…
