- I know it when I see it
How does life look like... from the point of view of Information Theory?
- Some machinery that preserves information in a noisy environment.
Can we model that with an NCA?

Had such a great time at this weeks @aliceworkshop.org in Copenhagen. Looking forward to next year's edition!

Thanks to @risi.bsky.social, @bhartl.bsky.social, and @zzznah.bsky.social for their talks! After we checked out the local cuisine with @ilzhechev.bsky.social.
#ALIFE25 #ERA
If you are attending @alife2025.bsky.social next week you shouldnโt miss our workshop on Monday! Besides the opportunity to share an exciting idea or a (research) project youโve been working on, weโll have talks by @risi.bsky.social and @bhartl.bsky.social giving some career insights. ๐ฎ

The system demonstrates robust generalization between training and validation sets, suggesting reliable learning of the underlying computational principles.

๐ชง Last week we presented a poster at #SSCI2025: "Embodied Autoencoding Through Neural Cellular Automata".
We show that NCAs can learn to compress, transport, and reconstruct complex patterns through extreme spatial bottlenecks using only local interactions.
