📢 Our paper has been nominated for a Best Paper Award at the #ComplexSystems track at @GeccoConf. This is the 2nd year in a row: I proudly see this as a sign (together with recent awards 🏅🏅 at @EvostarConf and @cells2societies) that @EralLabTs is doing well! #bravituttilab...

Thanks to everyone who participated and to fellow organizers! @iclr_conf #ICLR2022 It was fun, inspirational, and thought-provoking. We hope to repeat the workshop next year and meet you all again! @thefillm @AfanasjevaOlga @mvladymyrov @CejkovaJitka

Many agent phenomena, LLMs, and just cool ideas about collective dynamics and intelligence, the panel discussion @cells2societies @iclr_conf was 🔥. Thanks to panelists @blaiseaguera , @drmichaellevin , David Wolpert. and moderator @thefillm

@cells2societies @EricMedvetTs @stenichele @SidneyPontesF In case anyone missed it 💥

⚡⚡we won the best poster award at @iclr_conf #ICLR2022 @cells2societies ⚡⚡ congrats @GNadizar @EricMedvetTs @SidneyPontesF @OsloMetAI @EralLabTs @hiofnorge 🙏🏻

What an exceptional week! From last to this Friday, we (@EralLabTs + @MaleLabTs) got 2 best poster awards 🏅🏅 (@EvostarConf and @cells2societies) and 5 papers accepted (2x @GeccoConf workshops, 2x @ALifeConf, @hhai_conference workshop). The secret of success is ... 1/n

So now finally wrapping up, after 10 hours of amazing presentations and discussions. Thanks @GoodAIdev @googIeresearch and @VSCHT for organizing this! @cells2societies #ICLR2022

🥇 Best poster winner: Collective control of modular soft robots via embodied Spiking Neural Cellular Automata #ICLR2022 @cells2societies Congrats @EricMedvetTs, @stenichele, @SidneyPontesF, and @GNadizar

@blaiseaguera thinks predicting well on sparse-training data setting is essentially understanding.Also, supervised learning is basically meta-learning in the sense that it builds on itself. @cells2societies @iclr_conf

New machine ecologies:from flash crashes to smart contracts by David Wolpert. Many interacting-algorithm systems have collective states that aren't built-in, can't be know in advance, and yet are likely susceptible to covert, controlled perturbations😬@cells2societies @iclr_conf

Self-supervised learning is autocatalytic: learning allows you to learn more and faster @blaiseaguera @cells2societies #ICLR22

flash crashes: how a collective of extremely simple agents working at an extremely fast time scale burned trillions of dollars in a process that is not yet understood (David H. Wolpert) @cells2societies #ICLR2022

The same genome can actually have several different forms of life (e.g. Xenopus laevis, xenobots) @drmichaellevin @cells2societies #ICLR2022

Had a terrific time discussing cultural learning in natural + artificial systems + hourglass emergence w/ @mc_mozer, @C_A_Caldwell + Ted Chiang at a @cells2societies workshop run by @thefillm + @AfanasjevaOlga. Below, Turing on pointing, from Ted’s talk. sites.google.com/view/collectiv…

Correctly recognizing the level of agency of the system will impact how good your predictions about that system are. @drmichaellevin @cells2societies #ICLR22

Tune in now for knowing more about Michael Levin's research: collective learning, multi-level agency and about biological mechanisms for self-organization and collective intelligence. @cells2societies @drmichaellevin #ICLR2022 #ICLR22
