Formalizing Falsification for Theories of Consciousness Across Computational Hierarchies

no code implementations12 Jun 2020 Jake R. Hanson, Sara I. Walker

We use this example to illustrate a more general set of criteria for theories of consciousness: to avoid being unfalsifiable or already falsified scientific theories of consciousness must be invariant with respect to changes that leave the inference procedure fixed at a given level in a computational hierarchy.

Clone Swarms: Learning to Predict and Control Multi-Robot Systems by Imitation

no code implementations5 Dec 2019 Siyu Zhou, Mariano Phielipp, Jorge A. Sefair, Sara I. Walker, Heni Ben Amor

In this paper, we propose SwarmNet -- a neural network architecture that can learn to predict and imitate the behavior of an observed swarm of agents in a centralized manner.

Quantifying the pathways to life using assembly spaces

no code implementations6 Jul 2019 Stuart M. Marshall, Douglas Moore, Alastair R. G. Murray, Sara I. Walker, Leroy Cronin

To quantify this information in an agnostic way, we present a method to determine the amount of pathway assembly information contained within such an object by deconstructing the object into its irreducible parts, and then evaluating the minimum number of steps to reconstruct the object along any pathway.

Formal Definitions of Unbounded Evolution and Innovation Reveal Universal Mechanisms for Open-Ended Evolution in Dynamical Systems

1 code implementation6 Jul 2016 Alyssa M Adams, Hector Zenil, Paul CW Davies, Sara I. Walker

Open-ended evolution (OEE) is relevant to a variety of biological, artificial and technological systems, but has been challenging to reproduce in silico.
