Professor Stephane Angers has been appointed as the new director of the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research for a five-year term starting September 1, 2021. Angers, who holds appointments at the Leslie…

Nadine Narain, an occupational therapist and adjunct lecturer at the University of Toronto, works in the emergency department (ED) at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre to reduce hospital admissions and facilitate safe di…

The article investigates the robustness of Neural Cellular Automata (CA) by training adversarial models to hijack the system's behavior. It explores two types of attacks: injecting adversarial cells into a grid and pertu…

The article explores the use of Neural Cellular Automata (NCA) for texture synthesis, focusing on reproducing the general appearance of textures rather than exact copies. The authors argue that NCA are well-suited for th…

"self-classifying MNIST task," where a grid of locally-communicating agents, operating under identical rules, must determine which digit their collective shape forms without any agent knowing its global position. The res…

Distill thread exploring differentiable self-organizing systems, which use optimization to learn individual agent behaviors that achieve collective goals. It presents several research articles on topics like morphogenesi…

Overview of the first five layers of the InceptionV1 neural network, categorizing its early vision neurons into "neuron families" that detect features ranging from raw pixels to sophisticated shapes and small heads. The …

Here is a factual summary of the article: Scientists at the University of Toronto have developed a new generation of CAR T-cells that multiply and remain active for longer periods, showing greater effectiveness against …

The article describes a Python script that generates an animated GIF of a jellyfish-like, pulsating blobby shape. The code creates multiple layered blobs that vary in size and phase, using random offsets and Bézier curve…
