Discovering Sensorimotor Agency in Cellular Automata using Diversity Search

1 code implementation14 Feb 2024 Gautier Hamon, Mayalen Etcheverry, Bert Wang-Chak Chan, Clément Moulin-Frier, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer

The research field of Artificial Life studies how life-like phenomena such as autopoiesis, agency, or self-regulation can self-organize in computer simulations.

Meta-Diversity Search in Complex Systems, A Recipe for Artificial Open-Endedness ?

no code implementations1 Dec 2023 Mayalen Etcheverry, Bert Wang-Chak Chan, Clément Moulin-Frier, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer

Holmes incrementally learns a hierarchy of modular representations to characterize divergent sources of diversity and uses a goal-based intrinsically-motivated exploration as the diversity search strategy.

SBMLtoODEjax: Efficient Simulation and Optimization of Biological Network Models in JAX

1 code implementation17 Jul 2023 Mayalen Etcheverry, Michael Levin, Clément Moulin-Frier, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer

Advances in bioengineering and biomedicine demand a deep understanding of the dynamic behavior of biological systems, ranging from protein pathways to complex cellular processes.

Flow-Lenia: Towards open-ended evolution in cellular automata through mass conservation and parameter localization

1 code implementation14 Dec 2022 Erwan Plantec, Gautier Hamon, Mayalen Etcheverry, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer, Clément Moulin-Frier, Bert Wang-Chak Chan

Finally, we show that Flow Lenia enables the integration of the parameters of the CA update rules within the CA dynamics, making them dynamic and localized, allowing for multi-species simulations, with locally coherent update rules that define properties of the emerging creatures, and that can be mixed with neighbouring rules.

Progressive growing of self-organized hierarchical representations for exploration

no code implementations13 May 2020 Mayalen Etcheverry, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer, Chris Reinke

A central challenge is how to learn incrementally representations in order to progressively build a map of the discovered structures and re-use it to further explore.

Representation Learning

Intrinsically Motivated Discovery of Diverse Patterns in Self-Organizing Systems

no code implementations ICLR 2020 Chris Reinke, Mayalen Etcheverry, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer

Using a continuous GOL as a testbed, we show that recent intrinsically-motivated machine learning algorithms (POP-IMGEPs), initially developed for learning of inverse models in robotics, can be transposed and used in this novel application area.
