Reasoning with Neural Cellular Automata
Mayalen Etcheverry, Pietro Miotti, Aidan Sirbu +7
Modern AI architectures used to solve visual reasoning tasks typically rely heavily on global connectivity and synchronization. As biological systems demonstrate, though, sophistic…
Diffusion as a Training Curriculum for Timestep-Free Iterative Reasoning
Mariia Drozdova, Aidan Sirbu, Pietro Miotti +4
Diffusion models and recursive reasoners are both iterative, but they carry information across iterations differently. We add a persistent hidden state to a diffusion denoiser and…
Mesoscopic Modeling of Dynamic Tetra-PEG Hydrogel Networks
Pietro Miotti, Lucien Cousin, Mark W. Tibbitt +1
We introduce a mesoscopic model of dynamic Tetra-PEG hydrogel networks based on a hybrid Dissipative Particle Dynamics/Monte Carlo (DPD/MC) approach. Polymer chains are described b…
Entropy maximization underlies topology and mechanical properties in dynamic covalent hydrogels
Lucien Cousin, Pietro Miotti, Bruno Marco-Dufort +2
Adding dynamic bonds in polymer networks enables reprocessing and recycling; however the full impact of reversible bonds on dynamic network mechanics remains unclear. We build mode…
Differentiable Logic Cellular Automata: From Game of Life to Pattern Generation
Pietro Miotti, Eyvind Niklasson, Ettore Randazzo +1
This paper introduces Differentiable Logic Cellular Automata (DiffLogic CA), a novel combination of Neural Cellular Automata (NCA) and Differentiable Logic Gates Networks (DLGNs).…
