Visualising the Attractor Landscape of Neural Cellular Automata
James Stovold, Mia-Katrin Kvalsund, Harald Michael Ludwig +2
As Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs) are increasingly applied outside of the toy models in Artificial Life, there is a pressing need to understand how they behave and to build approp…
Stability and Geometry of Attractors in Neural Cellular Automata
Mia-Katrin Kvalsund, James Stovold
Throughout the literature on Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs), it is often taken for granted that the systems learn attractors. This is shown through evolving the system for many ti…
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…
EngramNCA: a Neural Cellular Automaton Model of Memory Transfer
Etienne Guichard, Felix Reimers, Mia Kvalsund +2
This study introduces EngramNCA, a neural cellular automaton (NCA) that integrates both publicly visible states and private, cell-internal memory channels, drawing inspiration from…
