The artificial synesthete: Image-melody translations with variational autoencoders

Karl Wienand, Wolfgang M. Heckl

Abstract This project presents a system of neural networks to translate between images and melodies. Autoencoders compress the information in samples to abstract representation. A…

Cooperation in Microbial Populations: Theory and Experimental Model Systems

J. Cremer, A. Melbinger, K. Wienand +3

Cooperative behavior, the costly provision of benefits to others, is common across all domains of life. This review article discusses cooperative behavior in the microbial world, m…

Interactions mediated by a public good transiently increase cooperativity in growing Pseudomonas putida metapopulations

Felix Becker, Karl Wienand, Matthias Lechner +2

Bacterial communities have rich social lives. A well-established interaction involves the exchange of a public good in Pseudomonas populations, where the iron-scavenging compound p…

Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics of a Population with Randomly Switching Carrying Capacity

Karl Wienand, Erwin Frey, Mauro Mobilia

Environmental variability greatly influences the eco-evolutionary dynamics of a population, i.e. it affects how its size and composition evolve. Here, we study a well-mixed populat…

Evolution of a Fluctuating Population in a Randomly Switching Environment

Karl Wienand, Erwin Frey, Mauro Mobilia

Environment plays a fundamental role in the competition for resources, and hence in the evolution of populations. Here, we study a well-mixed, finite population consisting of two s…

Non-selective evolution of growing populations

Karl Wienand, Matthias Lechner, Felix Becker +2

Non-selective effects, like genetic drift, are an important factor in modern conceptions of evolution, and have been extensively studied for constant population sizes. Here, we con…
