From the formation of snowflakes to the evolution of diverse life forms, emergence is ubiquitous in our universe. In the quest to understand how complexity can arise from simple rules, abstract computational models, such as cellular automata, have been developed to study self-organization. However, the discovery of self-organizing patterns in artificial systems is challenging and has largely relied on manual or semi-automatic search in the past. In this paper, we show that Quality-Diversity, a family of Evolutionary Algorithms, is an effective framework for the automatic discovery of diverse self-organizing patterns in complex systems. Quality-Diversity algorithms aim to evolve a large population of diverse individuals, each adapted to its ecological niche. Combined with Lenia, a continuous cellular automaton, we demonstrate that our method is able to evolve a diverse population of lifelike self-organizing autonomous patterns. Our framework, called Leniabreeder, can leverage both manually defined diversity criteria to guide the search towards interesting areas, as well as unsupervised measures of diversity to broaden the scope of discoverable patterns. We demonstrate both qualitatively and quantitatively that Leniabreeder offers a powerful solution for discovering self-organizing patterns. The effectiveness of unsupervised Quality-Diversity methods combined with the rich landscape of Lenia exhibits a sustained generation of diversity and complexity characteristic of biological evolution. We provide empirical evidence that suggests unbounded diversity and argue that Leniabreeder is a step towards replicating open-ended evolution in silico.

Using <i>nerfies</i> you can create fun visual effects. This Dolly zoom effect
would be impossible without nerfies since it would require going through a wall.

There's a lot of excellent work that was introduced around the same time as ours.
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09125">Progressive Encoding for Neural Optimization</a> introduces an idea similar to our windowed position encoding for coarse-to-fine optimization.
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.albertpumarola.com/research/D-NeRF/index.html">D-NeRF</a> and <a href="https://gvv.mpi-inf.mpg.de/projects/nonrigid_nerf/">NR-NeRF</a>
both use deformation fields to model non-rigid scenes.
</p>
<p>
Some works model videos with a NeRF by directly modulating the density, such as <a href="https://video-nerf.github.io/">Video-NeRF</a>, <a href="https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~zl548/NSFF/">NSFF</a>, and <a href="https://neural-3d-video.github.io/">DyNeRF</a>
</p>
<p>
There are probably many more by the time you are reading this. Check out <a href="https://dellaert.github.io/NeRF/">Frank Dellart's survey on recent NeRF papers</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/yenchenlin/awesome-NeRF">Yen-Chen Lin's curated list of NeRF papers</a>.
