The way to quantify emergence

Causal Emergence Community

Causal emergence and self reference

Swarma Club Reading Group Season.No1

This reading group aims to explore the relationship between causality, emergence, self-reference, integrated information theory, multi-scale, and other related topics.

Causal emergence and machine learning

Swarma Club Reading Group Season.No2

This reading group aims to sort out the relationship between causality, emergence, machine learning, information decomposition, and coarse-graining.

Swarma-Kaifeng Workshop

Swarma-Kaifeng Workshop is a closed forum sponsored by Kaifeng Foundation, and organized by Swarma Club. The topics include but not limited by complex systems, artificial intelligence, computational social sciences and quantum computation.
