Dimensionality Controls When Modularity Helps in Continual Learning
Kathrin Korte, Christian Medeiros Adriano, Joachim Winther Pedersen +2
Compositional learning systems must balance plasticity, the ability to acquire new knowledge, with stability, the preservation of previously learned components, especially when tas…
Hypernetworks That Evolve Themselves
Joachim Winther Pedersen, Erwan Plantec, Eleni Nisioti +4
How can neural networks evolve themselves without relying on external optimizers? We propose Self-Referential Graph HyperNetworks, systems where the very machinery of variation and…
When Does Neuroevolution Outcompete Reinforcement Learning in Transfer Learning Tasks?
Eleni Nisioti, Joachim Winther Pedersen, Erwan Plantec +2
The ability to continuously and efficiently transfer skills across tasks is a hallmark of biological intelligence and a long-standing goal in artificial systems. Reinforcement lear…
Bio-Inspired Plastic Neural Networks for Zero-Shot Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Complex Animal-Inspired Robots
Binggwong Leung, Worasuchad Haomachai, Joachim Winther Pedersen +2
Artificial neural networks can be used to solve a variety of robotic tasks. However, they risk failing catastrophically when faced with out-of-distribution (OOD) situations. Severa…
Meta-Learning an Evolvable Developmental Encoding
Milton L. Montero, Erwan Plantec, Eleni Nisioti +2
Representations for black-box optimisation methods (such as evolutionary algorithms) are traditionally constructed using a delicate manual process. This is in contrast to the repre…
From Text to Life: On the Reciprocal Relationship between Artificial Life and Large Language Models
Eleni Nisioti, Claire Glanois, Elias Najarro +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken the field of AI by storm, but their adoption in the field of Artificial Life (ALife) has been, so far, relatively reserved. In this work we…
