Towards AI-designed genomes using a variational autoencoder.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Genomes encode elaborate networks of genes whose products must seamlessly interact to support living organisms. Humans' capacity to understand these biological systems is limited by their sheer size and complexity. In this article, we develop a proof...

Inferring the locomotor ecology of two of the oldest fossil squirrels: influence of operationalization, trait, body size and machine learning method.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Correlations between morphology and lifestyle of extant taxa are useful for predicting lifestyles of extinct relatives. Here, we infer the locomotor behaviour of from the middle Oligocene and from the lower Miocene of France using their femoral mor...

The changing landscape of text mining: a review of approaches for ecology and evolution.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
In ecology and evolutionary biology, the synthesis and modelling of data from published literature are commonly used to generate insights and test theories across systems. However, the tasks of searching, screening, and extracting data from literatur...

Deep learning models challenge the prevailing assumption that face-like effects for objects of expertise support domain-general mechanisms.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
The question of whether task performance is best achieved by domain-specific, or domain-general processing mechanisms is fundemental for both artificial and biological systems. This question has generated a fierce debate in the study of expert object...

Past and future uses of text mining in ecology and evolution.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Ecology and evolutionary biology, like other scientific fields, are experiencing an exponential growth of academic manuscripts. As domain knowledge accumulates, scientists will need new computational approaches for identifying relevant literature to ...

Decoding alarm signal propagation of seed-harvester ants using automated movement tracking and supervised machine learning.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Alarm signal propagation through ant colonies provides an empirically tractable context for analysing information flow through a natural system, with useful insights for network dynamics in other social animals. Here, we develop a methodological appr...

Simple decentralized control mechanism that enables limb adjustment for adaptive quadruped running.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Quadrupeds exhibit versatile and adaptive running by exploiting the flying phase during the stride cycle. Various interlimb coordination mechanisms focusing on mechanical loads during the stance phase have been proposed to understand the underlying c...

Human biomechanics perspective on robotics for gait assistance: challenges and potential solutions.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Technological advancements in robotic devices have the potential to transform human mobility through gait assistance. However, the integration of physical hardware and software control algorithms with users to assist with impaired gait poses several ...
