I'm simulating a collective of independent agents. Each is controlled by a set of neural networks that determine the agent's action. The networks train themselves based on positive and negative action outcomes. Currently they eat, swarm, and reproduce. Above you can see them moving as a collective to consume food (green). Their population (plotted below) fluctuates pretty steadily and you can see the group expand and contract based on environmental stimuli. It's pretty processor-intensive, so I've had to set the environment to support only a few hundred organisms.



The algorithms are still pretty basic, development goals include:

This is what you do at work? Now I know who to come to for all the big questions in LIFE. We need to have some sort of mental olympics between a group of us to determine once and for all, the KING and the court jester.

Au contraire, this is about creating life, work is about destroying it.


Are you calling my wife a tramp? She is going to cut you.

 Naturally I will be indulging my curiosity as to the effectiveness of a good stock market prediction network. It would be a shame not to put money where my mouth is.

How Object Detection Evolved: From Region Proposals and Haar Cascades to Zero-Shot Techniques | Andrii Polukhin

 The development of Object Detection algorithms has come a long way, starting with early computer vision and reaching a high level of accuracy through deep learning. In this post, we will look at the stages of development of these algorithms and the main methods used in modern object detection systems.

Making Blue Noise Point Sets With Sliced Optimal Transport « The blog at the bottom of the sea

 This post explains how to use sliced optimal transport to make blue noise point sets. The plain, well commented C++ code that goes along with this post, which made the point sets and diagrams, is at https://github.com/Atrix256/SOTPointSets. This is an implementation and investigation of "Sliced Optimal Transport Sampling" by Paulin et al (http://www.geometry.caltech.edu/pubs/PBCIW+20.pdf).?They also have...
