4 final project schedule ALIFE 15 Projects Due by May 6 th in Oncourse ALIFE 15 (14) Actual conference due date: pages (LNCS proceedings format) D= Preliminary ideas overdue! Individual or group With very definite tasks assigned per member of group

5 differences and explanations biological, social and complexity explanations Emergent behavior Intricate structures and behavior from the interaction of many simple agents or rules Examples Cellular Automata, Ant colonies, development, morphogenesis, brains, immune systems, economic markets Mechanism Parallelism, multiplicity, stigmergy, multi-solutions, redundancy Design causes Natural selection, self-organization, epigenetics, culture

6 based on dead body cleaning ant clustering algorithm (ACA) Very simple rules for colony clean up Pick dead ant. if a dead ant is found pick it up (with probability inversely proportional to the quantity of dead ants in vicinity) and wander. Drop dead ant. If dead ants are found, drop ant (with probability proportional to the quantity of dead ants in vicinity) and wander. Data vector: X x 1 x 2 x 3 x n-1 x n x 1 x 2 x 3 x n-1 x n Lumer, E. D. and Faieta, B Diversity and adaptation in populations of clustering ants. In From Animals To Animats 3, pp x 1 x 2 x 3 x n-1 x n Cluster data (N samples) according to ant clean up rules

7 for multivariate data ant clustering algorithm (ACA) Group n-dimensional data samples in 2-dimensional grid Data vector: X 1 x 1,1 x 1,2 x 1,3 x 1,n-1 x 1,n Distance between two data samples (in original space): ) D( x ) ( i,x j = xi, k x j, k Data vector: X 2 e.g. Euclidean k = 1 x 2,1 x 2,2 x 2,3 x 2,n-1 x 2,n Ants see data points in a certain neighborhood n 2 s 2 : area of neighborhood (side s, radius 1)

8 using thresholds Clustering rules Pick data sample If there are few similar Drop data sample. If there are many similar Reduces dimensionality No a priori number of clusters Overshoots number of clusters p f d ( x ) i ant clustering algorithm (ACA) Probability of picking up p p ( x ) i = k Probability of dropping ( ) ( ) 1 2 = s x j Neigh 0 ( s s) 1 ( x ) k1 + f ( x, x ) ( x ) 2 f xi if f xi < k2 ( xi ) = 1 otherwise Neighborhood Similarity or density measure p D 1 i j α if otherwise Discrimination factor Improved with d i = k Threshold i 2 f + 2 ( xi ) f ( x ) f > 0 Different moving speeds, Shortterm memory, Behavioral switches Cooling cycle for thresholds, progressive vision, pheromone reinforcement 2 i

9 The workings ant clustering algorithm (ACA) 1. Project high-dimensional data items onto 2-dimensional grid randomly 2. Distribute N ants randomly on grid 3. repeat For every ant i in colony Compute neighborhood density f(x i ) If ant i is unloaded and its cell is occupied with data item x i then pick up x i with probability p p (x i ) Else if ant i is loaded with x i and its cell is empty drop x i with probability p d (x i ) Move randomly to neighbor cell with no ant 4. Until maximum iterations

10 by brood sorting Same principle as Clustering Rules Pick data sample of type t If there are few of type t Drop data sample of type t. If there are many of type t p p d p ( x t) i = k sorting with ants 1 k + f 1 t ( x ) i Probability of picking up item of type t ( x t) i = k 2 ft + ( xi ) f ( x ) t i 2 2 f t ( x ) i Probability of dropping item of type t 1 2 = s x j Neight 0 ( s s) D 1 ( x, x ) otherwise i α Neighborhood density of type t j if f > 0

Rule table contains all such configurations A rule table defines a particular self-assembly algorithm. Rule space is very large From E. Bonabeau. Swarm Intelligence.

17 swarm cognition and art Vitorino Ramos: Pheromone Fields as Swarm Cognitive Maps Artificial Ants in Digital Image Habitats A strange Metamorphosis [From Kafka 2 Red Ant] epostcard: V.Ramos CVRM-IST [ June Created with an Artificial Ant Colony, that uses images as Habitats, being sensible to their gray levels. At the second row, Kafka is replaced as a substrate, by Red Ant. In black, the higher levels of pheromone (a chemical evaporative sugar substance used by swarms on their orientation trought out the trails). It s exactly this artificial evaporation and the computational ant collective group sinergy realocating their upgrades of pheromone at interesting places, that allows for the emergence of adaptation and perception of new images. Only some of the 6000 iterations processed are represented. The system does not have any type of hierarchy, and ants communicate only in indirect forms, through out the sucessive alteration that they found on the Habitat.
