Gulliver seminar : Matthew Turner (Warwick University, UK)
Lundi 13 mai de 11h30 à 12h30 - C162
Collective motion & environmental path entropy
We discuss a “bottom up” model for collective motion. This involves moving agents that re-orientate so as to maximise a measure of the entropy of their environment in the future. We discuss why such principles might confer fitness on rather general grounds. We then discuss the dynamics that arise from them that lead (...)
The audience is often heterogeneous - because of the wide range of scientific topics covered in the lab - so planning a talk for a broader audience would be preferred. The seminar is in English, and speakers are thus invited to prepare their slides in English.
The seminar starts at 11:30 AM. The speaker is asked to arrive in the lab at least 15 minutes in advance to set up their computer. The talks last typically 45 minutes, and are followed by a discussion time.
