Experiments in artificial culture: from noisy imitation to storytelling robots.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
This paper presents a series of experiments in collective social robotics, spanning more than 10 years, with the long-term aim of building embodied models of (aspects of) cultural evolution. Initial experiments demonstrated the emergence of behaviour...

Social learning in swarm robotics.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
In this paper, we present an implementation of social learning for swarm robotics. We consider social learning as a distributed online reinforcement learning method applied to a collective of robots where sensing, acting and coordination are performe...

Artificial evolution of robot bodies and control: on the interaction between evolution, learning and culture.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
We survey and reflect on how learning (in the form of individual learning and/or culture) can augment evolutionary approaches to the joint optimization of the body and control of a robot. We focus on a class of applications where the goal is to evolv...

A Sea-Anemone-Inspired, Multifunctional, Bistable Gripper.

Soft robotics
The growing need for soft robots with secure, adaptive, and autonomous functioning in unforeseen environments favors designs with multiple functionalities. This has driven soft robotic grippers to be explored to integrate perceptual capability for au...

Profiling epigenetic age in single cells.

Nature aging
DNA methylation dynamics emerged as a promising biomarker of mammalian aging, with multivariate machine learning models ('epigenetic clocks') enabling measurement of biological age in bulk tissue samples. However, intrinsically sparse and binarized m...

Water tank and swimming pool detection based on remote sensing and deep learning: Relationship with socioeconomic level and applications in dengue control.

PloS one
Studies have shown that areas with lower socioeconomic standings are often more vulnerable to dengue and similar deadly diseases that can be spread through mosquitoes. This study aims to detect water tanks installed on rooftops and swimming pools in ...

A Comparative Performance Assessment of Optimized Multilevel Ensemble Learning Model with Existing Classifier Models.

Big data
To predict the class level of any classification problem, predictive models are used and mostly a single predictive model is built to predict the class level of any classification problem; current research considers multiple predictive models to pred...

A Novel Feature Selection Method for Uncertain Features: An Application to the Prediction of Pro-/Anti-Longevity Genes.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Understanding the ageing process is a very challenging problem for biologists. To help in this task, there has been a growing use of classification methods (from machine learning) to learn models that predict whether a gene influences the process of ...

Improved Predicting of The Sequence Specificities of RNA Binding Proteins by Deep Learning.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have a significant role in various regulatory tasks. However, the mechanism by which RBPs identify the subsequence target RNAs is still not clear. In recent years, several machine and deep learning-based computational mode...

Using Convolutional Neural Networks to Measure the Physiological Age of Caenorhabditis elegans.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a popular and excellent model for studies of aging due to its short lifespan. Methods for precisely measuring the physiological age of C. elegans are critically needed, especially for antiaging drug screening an...
