Kolibri: A Sovereign European Model on the Pareto Frontier
Aleph Alpha, :, Moritz Althaus +65
This report introduces Kolibri, an English-German mixture-of-experts transformer with 78.1B total parameters and 3.46B active parameters per token, released as open weights under t…
A Family of LLMs Liberated from Static Vocabularies
Aleph Alpha, :, Adnen Abdessaied +35
Tokenization is a central component of natural language processing in current large language models (LLMs), enabling models to convert raw text into processable units. Although lea…
Morphological Wobbling Can Help Robots Learn
Fabien C. Y. Benureau, Jun Tani
We propose to make the physical characteristics of a robot oscillate while it learns to improve its behavioral performance. We consider quantities such as mass, actuator strength,…
Goal-directed Planning and Goal Understanding by Active Inference: Evaluation Through Simulated and Physical Robot Experiments
Takazumi Matsumoto, Wataru Ohata, Fabien C. Y. Benureau +1
We show that goal-directed action planning and generation in a teleological framework can be formulated using the free energy principle. The proposed model, which is built on a var…
Morphological Development at the Evolutionary Timescale: Robotic Developmental Evolution
Fabien C. Y. Benureau, Jun Tani
Evolution and development operate at different timescales; generations for the one, a lifetime for the other. These two processes, the basis of much of life on earth, interact in m…
Diversity-Driven Selection of Exploration Strategies in Multi-Armed Bandits
Fabien C. Y. Benureau, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer
We consider a scenario where an agent has multiple available strategies to explore an unknown environment. For each new interaction with the environment, the agent must select whic…
Re-run, Repeat, Reproduce, Reuse, Replicate: Transforming Code into Scientific Contributions
Fabien Benureau, Nicolas Rougier
Scientific code is not production software. Scientific code participates in the evaluation of a scientific hypothesis. This imposes specific constraints on the code that are often…
Sustainable computational science: the ReScience initiative
Nicolas P. Rougier, Konrad Hinsen, Frédéric Alexandre +42
Computer science offers a large set of tools for prototyping, writing, running, testing, validating, sharing and reproducing results, however computational science lags behind. In…
