Artificial Intelligence: Biological
process simulation

2. Agenda
 Simulation
 Biological or social behaviors
 Artificial Intelligence
 Artificial Life
 Swarm Intelligence
 Genetic Algorithms
 Neural Networks
 Artificial Brain

3. Simulation [2]
 Imitation of some real thing
available, state of affairs, or process.
 The act of simulating something generally
entails representing certain key
characteristics or behaviors of a selected
physical or abstract system.
[2] Simulation is also used for scientific modeling of natural systems or human
systems in order to gain insight into their functioning.

4. Biological or social behaviors
 Fish bank
 Starlings
 Humans [1]
[1] Adam Greenfield acuñó el término everyware para las tecnologías que
incorporan computación ubícua, inteligencia ambiental o medios tangibles, 2004.
The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing.

5. Artificial Intelligence [3]
 It is the science and engineering of
making intelligent machines, especially
intelligent computer programs.
 It is related to the similar task of using
computers to understand human
intelligence, but AI does not have to
confine itself to methods that are
biologically observable.

6. Artificial Life [4]
 Field of study and an associated art form
which examine systems related to life, its
processes, and its evolution through
simulations using computer
models, robotics, and biochemistry.
◦ Soft (software)
◦ Hard (hardware)
◦ Wet (biochemistry)
[4] The discipline was named by Christopher Langton, an American computer
scientist, in 1986. Wikipedia.

7. Swarm Intelligence (SI) [5]
 Is the collective behavior of
decentralized, self-organized
systems, natural or artificial.
[5] The expression was introduced by Gerardo Beni and Jing Wang in 1989, in
the context of cellular robotic systems.

8. Swarm Algorithms [6]
 Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)
 Artificial bee colony algorithm
 Artificial immune systems
[6] The concept is employed in work on artificial intelligence.

9. Swarm video examples
 Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)
 Artificial bee colony algorithm
 Artificial immune systems
 Birds-Blender
 Ants-Pheromones
 Fish-NN

10. Genetic Algorithms [7]
 Simulate processes in natural system
necessary for evolution, specifically those
that follow the principles proposed by
Charles Darwin of survival of the fittest.
 They represent an intelligent exploitation
of a random search within a defined
search space to solve a problem.
[7] First pioneered by John Holland in the 60s

11. Example Genetic Algorithm
 Example 1
 Example 2
 Example 3

12. Neural Networks
 The term was traditionally used to refer to
a network or circuit of biological neurons.
 The modern usage of the term often
refers to artificial neural networks, which
are composed of artificial neurons or
nodes.
