Emergence in Collective Animal Behavior
Nature has presented us a wide variety of fascinating collective behaviors in animals – birds flying in flocks, fish swim in shoals and wild horses move in herds. A number of models are proposed in order to understand the origin of collective behavior and reveal the underlining physics. In this paper, two theoretical models are reviewed: the discrete SPP model and the continuum hydrodynamic mod...
متن کاملCausal Inference by Direction of Information
We focus on data-driven causal inference. In particular, we propose a new principle for causal inference based on algorithmic information theory, i.e. Kolmogorov complexity. In a nutshell, we determine how much information one data object gives about the other, and vice versa, and identify the most likely causal direction by the strongest direction of information. To apply this principle in pra...
متن کاملOptimal causal inference: estimating stored information and approximating causal architecture.
We introduce an approach to inferring the causal architecture of stochastic dynamical systems that extends rate-distortion theory to use causal shielding--a natural principle of learning. We study two distinct cases of causal inference: optimal causal filtering and optimal causal estimation. Filtering corresponds to the ideal case in which the probability distribution of measurement sequences i...
متن کاملProbabilistic models of individual and collective animal behavior
Recent developments in automated tracking allow uninterrupted, high-resolution recording of animal trajectories, sometimes coupled with the identification of stereotyped changes of body pose or other behaviors of interest. Analysis and interpretation of such data represents a challenge: the timing of animal behaviors may be stochastic and modulated by kinematic variables, by the interaction wit...
