On the potential for open-endedness in neural networks
Nicholas Guttenberg, Nathaniel Virgo, Alexandra Penn
Natural evolution gives the impression of leading to an open-ended process of increasing diversity and complexity. If our goal is to produce such open-endedness artificially, this…
Being curious about the answers to questions: novelty search with learned attention
Nicholas Guttenberg, Martin Biehl, Nathaniel Virgo +1
We investigate the use of attentional neural network layers in order to learn a `behavior characterization' which can be used to drive novelty search and curiosity-based policies.…
Hydrodynamic Theory of Flocking in the Presence of Quenched Disorder
John Toner, Nicholas Guttenberg, Yuhai Tu
The effect of quenched (frozen) orientational disorder on the collective motion of active particles is analyzed. We find that, as with annealed disorder (Langevin noise), active po…
Swarming in the Dirt: Ordered Flocks with Quenched Disorder
John Toner, Nicholas Guttenberg, Yuhai Tu
The effect of quenched (frozen) disorder on the collective motion of active particles is analyzed. We find that active polar systems are far more robust against quenched disorder t…
Learning to generate classifiers
Nicholas Guttenberg, Ryota Kanai
We train a network to generate mappings between training sets and classification policies (a 'classifier generator') by conditioning on the entire training set via an attentional m…
