As autonomous agents increasingly operate in real-world digital ecosystems, understanding how they coordinate, form institutions, and accumulate shared culture becomes both a scien…
Evolution and The Knightian Blindspot of Machine Learning
Joel Lehman, Elliot Meyerson, Tarek El-Gaaly +2
This paper claims that machine learning (ML) largely overlooks an important facet of general intelligence: robustness to a qualitatively unknown future in an open world. Such robus…
Surveying the Effects of Quality, Diversity, and Complexity in Synthetic Data From Large Language Models
Alex Havrilla, Andrew Dai, Laura O'Mahony +17
Synthetic data generation with Large Language Models is a promising paradigm for augmenting natural data over a nearly infinite range of tasks. Given this variety, direct compariso…
From Text to Life: On the Reciprocal Relationship between Artificial Life and Large Language Models
Eleni Nisioti, Claire Glanois, Elias Najarro +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken the field of AI by storm, but their adoption in the field of Artificial Life (ALife) has been, so far, relatively reserved. In this work we…
