Network bottlenecks and task structure control the evolution of interpretable learning rules in a foraging agent

no code implementations20 Mar 2024 Emmanouil Giannakakis, Sina Khajehabdollahi, Anna Levina

Developing reliable mechanisms for continuous local learning is a central challenge faced by biological and artificial systems.

Meta-Learning

Emergent mechanisms for long timescales depend on training curriculum and affect performance in memory tasks

no code implementations22 Sep 2023 Sina Khajehabdollahi, Roxana Zeraati, Emmanouil Giannakakis, Tim Jakob Schäfer, Georg Martius, Anna Levina

We find that for both tasks RNNs develop longer timescales with increasing $N$, but depending on the learning objective, they use different mechanisms.

Locally adaptive cellular automata for goal-oriented self-organization

no code implementations12 Jun 2023 Sina Khajehabdollahi, Emmanouil Giannakakis, Victor Buendia, Georg Martius, Anna Levina

In this paper, we propose a new model class of adaptive cellular automata that allows for the generation of scalable and expressive models.

When to be critical? Performance and evolvability in different regimes of neural Ising agents

no code implementations28 Mar 2023 Sina Khajehabdollahi, Jan Prosi, Emmanouil Giannakakis, Georg Martius, Anna Levina

To test it we introduce a hard and simple task: for the hard task, agents evolve closer to criticality whereas more subcritical solutions are found for the simple task.

Environmental variability and network structure determine the optimal plasticity mechanisms in embodied agents

no code implementations12 Mar 2023 Emmanouil Giannakakis, Sina Khajehabdollahi, Anna Levina

The evolutionary balance between innate and learned behaviors is highly intricate, and different organisms have found different solutions to this problem.

Assessing aesthetics of generated abstract images using correlation structure

no code implementations18 May 2021 Sina Khajehabdollahi, Georg Martius, Anna Levina

We demonstrate that even with the randomly selected weights the correlation functions remain largely determined by the network architecture.

The dynamical regime and its importance for evolvability, task performance and generalization

2 code implementations22 Mar 2021 Jan Prosi, Sina Khajehabdollahi, Emmanouil Giannakakis, Georg Martius, Anna Levina

Surprisingly, we find that all populations, regardless of their initial regime, evolve to be subcritical in simple tasks and even strongly subcritical populations can reach comparable performance.
