Description
Collective behaviour is found in wide variety of life-forms, from bacteria to humans, and it is an intriguing phenomenon with implications ranging from ecology and sociology to agriculture and artificial intelligence. I will discuss how tools from physics and machine learning can shed light on the origins and dynamics of collective motion. Specifically, I will present a model in terms of learning agents, which learn by themselves how to behave in different environments and, in the process, can develop strategies like alignment and collective sensing.
