Joint research carried out by the Universities of Konstanz, Stuttgart, Ulm and LMU Munich on the topic of “Quantitative Methods for Visual Computing” to receive additional funding in the amount of approximately eight million euros
The research team around Iain Couzin is revolutionizing the study of collectives by using artificial intelligence. The researchers teach computers to see what humans cannot: patterns amid the mind boggling complexity of animal collective behaviour.
Understanding the behavior of AI systems is essential to our ability to control their actions, reap their benefits, and minimize their harms, says Iain Couzin in a new Nature paper.
Work published today by the group of Clemens Bechinger reveals a much simpler and remarkably robust rule with which individuals spontaneously form a stable group: It only requires that individuals have a forward and long range vision, a basic ability of many living organisms.
Projects by three researchers in the Centre for Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour, Dina Dechmann, Alex Jordan and Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin, have been selected for prestigious Human Frontiers Science Program Grants - representing almost 10% of the 34 total projects selected in the global competition.
