The Bayesian Superorganism: Collective Probability Estimation in Swarm Systems

E. R. Hunt, N. R. Franks, R. J. Baddeley

The paper develops a Bayesian model to explain collective decision-making in ant colonies, showing how decentralized probability estimation can lead to effective nest site selection.

The Bayesian Superorganism: externalised memories facilitate distributed sampling

E. R. Hunt, N. R. Franks, R. J. Baddeley

The paper shows ants use externalized chemical markers to coordinate foraging and develops a Bayesian model to improve sampling efficiency in sparse distributions.

Optimal foraging and the information theory of gambling

R. J. Baddeley, N. R. Franks, E. R. Hunt

This paper applies information theory and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to model ant foraging behavior, showing that optimal foraging strategies align with betting strategies from gambling theory.

Evolving optimum camouflage with Generative Adversarial Networks

L. Talas, J. G. Fennell, K. Kjernsmo, I. C. Cuthill, N. E. Scott-Samuel, R. J. Baddeley

This paper uses Generative Adversarial Networks to simulate an evolutionary arms race between synthetic prey camouflage and predators, producing more effective concealment than existing techniques.
