研究実績の概要 |
This year we have developed a simulation environment to facilitate the evolution of artificial neural networks (neuroevolution) to infer a general model of collective behaviour exhibited by a target living system’s observed dynamics. In this case, our simulation environment uses collective behaviour data obtained from recordings of real ant colony dynamics. This is then used to automatically evolve neural network topologies which attempt to reproduce the general behaviours observed in living systems. This framework can be applied to any living system whereby the observable dynamics can be represented as a time series of 2-dimensional positional data.
So far, we have submitted an extended abstract about the simulation environment which we intend to make available to the research community.

理由
At the ALIFE2023 conference (hosted by Prof. Iizuka at Hokkaido University), our paper on the results of the information bottleneck approach was accepted for an oral presentation. Our overall research plan is making good progress.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
From here, we are already investigating methods to evolve more complex neural network topologies which are suitable for capturing the complex dynamics of living systems. First, we will redesign the current reward function to ensure that the general dynamics of the living system being modelled are accurately reproduced for learning. Then, extending existing algorithms for topological neuroevolution (NEAT, WANNs), we will evolve networks with more sophisticated internal architectures that might eventually evolve internal state representations. To do this, we will no longer stick to a strictly feed-forward architecture but instead allow the evolutionary process to use recurrent connections and additional activation functions in tandem. We expect this will produce more accurate dynamics.
