We describe the questions and discussions raised at the First Workshop on Social Learning and Cultural Evolution held at theArtificial Life Conference 2016 in Cancún, Mexico in July 2016. The purpose of the workshop was to assemble artificial life re... Read More about Social learning and cultural evolution in artificial life.

Random projection neural network approximation (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2018). Random projection neural network approximation. In 2018 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) (1-8). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2018.8489215

Neural networks are often used to approximate functions defined over high-dimensional data spaces (e.g. text data, genomic data, multi-sensor data). Such approximation tasks are usually difficult due to the curse of dimensionality and improved method... Read More about Random projection neural network approximation.

Social learning in repeated cooperation games in uncertain environments (2018)
Journal Article
