Ants are better at teamwork than humans

Popular Science

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Nature has once again proven to be an efficient designer, showing time and again how ant teamwork is much better than that of humans. "Teamwork is often assumed to enhance group performance, particularly for physical tasks. However, in both human and non-human animal teams, the effort contributed by each member may, in fact, decrease as team size grows," researchers wrote in a study recently published in the journal Current Biology. This phenomenon is called the Ringelmann effect.


GlanceNets: Interpretable, Leak-proof Concept-based Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

A key requirement is that the concepts be interpretable. Existing CBMs tackle this desideratum using a variety of heuristics based on unclear notions of interpretability, and fail to acquire concepts with the intended semantics.








Model-Based Imitation Learning for Urban Driving

Neural Information Processing Systems

MILE is action-conditioned, allowing us to model how other agents respond to ego-actions. We show that our model can predict plausible and diverse futures from latent states and actions over long time horizons.
