A Collective Variational Principle Unifying Bayesian Inference, Game Theory, and Thermodynamics
Djamel Bouchaffra, Faycal Ykhlef, Mustapha Lebbah +1
Collective intelligence emerges across biological, physical, and artificial systems without central coordination, yet a unifying principle governing such behaviour remains elusive.…
NeuroGame Transformer: Gibbs-Inspired Attention Driven by Game Theory and Statistical Physics
Djamel Bouchaffra, Faycal Ykhlef, Hanene Azzag +2
Standard attention mechanisms in transformers are limited by their pairwise formulation, which hinders the modeling of higher-order dependencies among tokens. We introduce the Neur…
Game Theory Meets Statistical Mechanics in Deep Learning Design
Djamel Bouchaffra, Fayçal Ykhlef, Bilal Faye +2
We present a novel deep graphical representation that seamlessly merges principles of game theory with laws of statistical mechanics. It performs feature extraction, dimensionality…
Adaptative Context Normalization: A Boost for Deep Learning in Image Processing
Bilal Faye, Hanane Azzag, Mustapha Lebbah +1
Deep Neural network learning for image processing faces major challenges related to changes in distribution across layers, which disrupt model convergence and performance. Activati…
