pleased to share 'DiffLogic CA', made of the finest blend of NCA and binary-gate circuits! adopting @FHKPetersen's differentiable circuit learning, we learn *stateful* circuits, recurrent in space & time. by @PietroMiotti, me, @zzznah, @RandazzoEttore 1/5

Differentiable Logic Cellular Automata: From Game of Life to pattern generation with learned...
We use Differentiable Logic Gate Networks to create end-to-end differentiable, self-organizing discrete cellular automata powered by recurrent circuits, capable of playing the Game of Life as well as...

exciting work led by our student researcher @kjha02. we explore how cooperation emerges in a "computational primordial soup" with emergent+endogenous self replication. crucial for scaling such envs towards intelligence, mirroring nature's path to e.g. multicellularity & societies

Can self-interested, self-improving, self-replicating agents learn to cooperate? Our new paper, Tapes Together Strong, shows they can: when social behavior, computation, and reproduction share one energy budget, cooperation evolves from scratch. arxiv.org/abs/2609.10817 🧵

brilliant work from our team! led by @MariiaD_ML+@aidan_sirbu, we explore reasoning w/ somewhat atypical diffusion models. classic sudoku solvers need memory to track possible states -> providing denoisers w/ persistent memory between steps seems key! 99.9% on sudoku extreme 🤯

1/7) What happens when we add a persistent memory state and remove timestep conditioning from a denoising model? We obtain an anytime iterative solver! With less than 250k-params, we obtain a 99.9% accuracy on Sudoku-Extreme and 98.3% on Maze-Unique. arxiv.org/abs/2609.01449

if you have something cool at the intersection of self-organisation and evolution, submit it to the Evo-Self workshop at @GeccoConf, extended deadline April 3rd! organised w/ @nisioti_eleni @miltonllera @risi1979 @MarcelloBarylli @RandazzoEttore @zzznah @mayalen_etc

we’re going to figure out that intelligence essentially self-assembles
