The Art of Misclassification: Too Many Classes, Not Enough Points
Mario Franco, Gerardo Febres, Nelson Fernández +1
Classification is a ubiquitous and fundamental problem in artificial intelligence and machine learning, with extensive efforts dedicated to developing more powerful classifiers and…
SEEDS: Exponential SDE Solvers for Fast High-Quality Sampling from Diffusion Models
Martin Gonzalez, Nelson Fernandez, Thuy Tran +3
A potent class of generative models known as Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPMs) has become prominent. A forward diffusion process adds gradually noise to data, while a model lea…
Is Soccer a lie or simply a complex system?
Nelson Fernandez, Ricardo Bernal
Understanding soccer as a complex system we base on nature and the collective behavior of many organisms that "do calculations," seeking to generate solutions in a bioinspired way.…
Two-stream convolutional networks for end-to-end learning of self-driving cars
Nelson Fernandez
We propose a methodology to extend the concept of Two-Stream Convolutional Networks to perform end-to-end learning for self-driving cars with temporal cues. The system has the abil…
Multi-Agent Modeling of Dynamical Systems: A Self-organized, Emergent, Homeostatic and Autopoietic Approach
Nelson Fernandez
This thesis presents the theoretical, conceptual and methodological aspects that support the modeling of dynamical systems (DS) by using several agents. The modeling approach permi…
Measuring the Complexity of Continuous Distributions
Guillermo Santamaría-Bonfil, Nelson Fernández, Carlos Gershenson
We extend previously proposed measures of complexity, emergence, and self-organization to continuous distributions using differential entropy. This allows us to calculate the compl…
Measuring the Complexity of Self-organizing Traffic Lights
Dario Zubillaga, Geovany Cruz, Luis Daniel Aguilar +5
We apply measures of complexity, emergence and self-organization to an abstract city traffic model for comparing a traditional traffic coordination method with a self-organizing me…
Measuring Complexity in an Aquatic Ecosystem
Nelson Fernandez, Carlos Gershenson
We apply formal measures of emergence, self-organization, homeostasis, autopoiesis and complexity to an aquatic ecosystem; in particular to the physiochemical component of an Arcti…
Information Measures of Complexity, Emergence, Self-organization, Homeostasis, and Autopoiesis
Nelson Fernandez, Carlos Maldonado, Carlos Gershenson
This chapter reviews measures of emergence, self-organization, complexity, homeostasis, and autopoiesis based on information theory. These measures are derived from proposed axioms…
Complexity and Information: Measuring Emergence, Self-organization, and Homeostasis at Multiple Scales
Carlos Gershenson, Nelson Fernandez
Concepts used in the scientific study of complex systems have become so widespread that their use and abuse has led to ambiguity and confusion in their meaning. In this paper we us…
