Theano: A Python framework for fast computation of mathematical expressions

The Theano Development Team, Rami Al-Rfou, Guillaume Alain +110

Theano is a Python library that allows to define, optimize, and evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays efficiently. Since its introduction, it has bee…

The STARFLAG handbook on collective animal behaviour: Part II, three-dimensional analysis

Andrea Cavagna, Irene Giardina, Alberto Orlandi +2

The study of collective animal behaviour must progress through a comparison between the theoretical predictions of numerical models and data coming from empirical observations. To…

The STARFLAG handbook on collective animal behaviour: Part I, empirical methods

Andrea Cavagna, Irene Giardina, Alberto Orlandi +4

The most startling examples of collective animal behaviour are provided by very large and cohesive groups moving in three dimensions. Paradigmatic examples are bird flocks, fish sc…

An empirical study of large, naturally occurring starling flocks: a benchmark in collective animal behaviour

Michele Ballerini, Nicola Cabibbo, Raphael Candelier +8

Bird flocking is a striking example of collective animal behaviour. A vivid illustration of this phenomenon is provided by the aerial display of vast flocks of starlings gathering…

Interaction Ruling Animal Collective Behaviour Depends on Topological rather than Metric Distance: Evidence from a Field Study

M. Ballerini, N. Cabibbo, R. Candelier +9

Numerical models indicate that collective animal behaviour may emerge from simple local rules of interaction among the individuals. However, very little is known about the nature o…
