Extended Flow-Lenia paper is out in the ALife journal, with more experiments and insights! See 🧵 from 1st-author @eplantec.bsky.social for a summary. For a full overview of our research in Artificial Life, here is a talk I gave at the Demeco workshop at EPFL : youtube.com/watch?v=YYFr...

Le potentiel artistique de (Flow-)Lenia en particulier, et de la simulation de systèmes complexes en général, est considérable. Une belle démonstration actuellement au Jeu de Paume à Paris, par Samuel Bianchini et collègues. Et notre dernier papier, Flow-Lenia Universes : arxiv.org/abs/2505.15998

The #Demeco workshop has kicked off with a great introductory talk from @bertchakovsky.bsky.social on #Lenia and variants. I'll present recent progress from Inria Flowers Tuesday at 10:20 www.dem.eco

Published my WebGPU Particle Life simulation online! Obviously it requires WebGPU support, and it's quite resource-demanding, so I've set the particle count to 64k for now. Also it probably doesn't work on mobile; will fix later. Enjoy: lisyarus.github.io/webgpu/parti...

Cool videos from our new paper applying Diversity Search to Flow-Lenia to explore a vast space of eco-evolutionary dynamics. Preprint paper, dataset and online visualization tool soon available, stay tuned! I'll present this and other Lenia experiments on May 27 at www.dem.eco #ALife #Open-endedness

Very happy that our paper received both the EvoApps best paper and the EvoStar best student paper! Congrats team!! Emergent Kin Selection of Altruistic Feeding via Non-Episodic Neuroevolution arxiv.org/abs/2411.10536

Our paper "When LLMs Play the Telephone Game: Cumulative Changes and Attractors in Iterated Cultural Transmissions"is presented at ICLR by @gaiamolinaro.bsky.social (below). Summary of method and findings, in this X thread by Jeremy Perez: x.com/Jeremy__Pere... Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2407.04503

Max Taylor-Davies will present our new paper at the Evostar conference on Thursday: Emergent Kin Selection of Altruistic Feeding via Non-Episodic Neuroevolution arxiv.org/abs/2411.10536 A joint work with @hamongautier.bsky.social , Timothé Boulet and myself. A quick summary below:
