(YouTube) Hearing tactile interactions, visualizing sounds, touching distances: Current directions in sensory conversion research www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2v5... Keynote by Malika Auvray at #ALIFE2023, with #The_vOICe visual-to-auditory sensory substitution.

In about 15 minutes at #ALife2023 , I'll be running a session in Room 2 on the ALife Encyclopedia (a wiki-like community-curated reference website)! Stop by to learn about the project, debug any issues with contributing, and participate in a mini writing hackathon!

I really love the point that Ted Chiang is making in his #ALIFE2023 keynote about how the idea that AI can learn by having information poured into it without interactive teaching seems a lot like the (now largely discredited) idea in education that humans learn by being fed facts

Today, Max will discuss early work on abiotic parameters. Tomorrow, Sydney Leither will talk about the other half of this work, which focuses on the biotic parameters (i.e. ecological interactions). Paper: direct.mit.edu/isal/proceedings/isal/35...

Up soon in the Artificial Chemistries session at #ALIFE2023, Max Foreback will be talking about some preliminary results from work we're doing with @baobabbaum on how to characterize transitions from purely ecological to evolutionary dynamics
