Functional Information Decomposition: A First-Principles Approach to Analyzing Functional Relationships
Clifford Bohm, Vincent R. Ragusa, Arend Hintze +3
A central challenge in analyzing multivariate interactions within complex systems is to decompose how multiple inputs jointly determine an output. Existing approaches generally ope…
Identifying Information-Transfer Nodes in a Recurrent Neural Network Reveals Dynamic Representations
Arend Hintze, Asadullah Najam, Jory Schossau
Understanding the internal dynamics of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) is crucial for advancing their interpretability and improving their design. This study introduces an innovat…
Characterizing Fitness Landscape Structures in Prompt Engineering
Arend Hintze
While prompt engineering has emerged as a crucial technique for optimizing large language model performance, the underlying optimization landscape remains poorly understood. Curren…
Rethinking Self-Replication: Detecting Distributed Selfhood in the Outlier Cellular Automaton
Arend Hintze, Clifford Bohm
Spontaneous self-replication in cellular automata has long been considered rare, with most known examples requiring careful design or artificial initialization. In this paper, we p…
Promoting Cooperation in the Public Goods Game using Artificial Intelligent Agents
Arend Hintze, Christoph Adami
The tragedy of the commons illustrates a fundamental social dilemma where individual rational actions lead to collectively undesired outcomes, threatening the sustainability of sha…
