Our second Distill article: Self-classifying MNSIT digits is out! distill.pub/2020/selforg/m…
w/ Alex Mordvintsev Eyvind Niklasson Michael Levin Sam Greydanus Distill
This time, our beloved Neural CA learn to self-classify the digit they compose! 1/N
Alex Mordvintsev Ettore Randazzo Eyvind Niklasson Michael Levin Blaise Aguera Chris Olah I had some fun with the book emojis :) My CA was trained to attain a different color depending on the seed state... 📙📗 Also, it seems it is quite difficult to learn size when there is no structure Thanks for the notebook!

Cellular automata trained to generate textures from a sample image, or to excite a given neuron in an external network, very cool work by Eyvind Niklasson, Alex Mordvintsev, Ettore Randazzo and Michael Levin. And they even cited me, wow! distill.pub/selforg/2021/t…

The characters are displayed with a fixed computational cost, regardless of the number of characters.

Alex Mordvintsev Ettore Randazzo Eyvind Niklasson Michael Levin Blaise Aguera Chris Olah the looped boundaries are great
Alex Mordvintsev Ettore Randazzo Eyvind Niklasson Michael Levin Blaise Aguera Chris Olah It was surprisingly difficult to break some of these
I've always been fascinated by learning-to-learn. Now I've had the privilege of following along on Johannes Oswald journey to show that Transformers certainly do this in some settings, and likely do this in the wild! Quite extraordinary emergent behaviour!

My particular favorite is this one though: distill.pub/2020/selforg/m…
It works! Creatures can be brought to life by dropping images from desktop or even social media! (thanks Eyvind Niklasson) #partcilelenia
Alex Mordvintsev Ettore Randazzo Eyvind Niklasson Michael Levin Blaise Aguera Chris Olah Well... I think I've created a cyclop, and a wandering tumor.
I love the feature btw!
