How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Effects of Reward Misspecification: Mapping and Mitigating Misaligned Models (2022, background): “ML researchers should also familiarize themselves with emergent behavior in self-organizing systems (Yates, 2012), which often exhibit similar phase transitions (Anderson, 1972).”
Rapid Reinforcement Learning for Reactive Control Policy Design for Autonomous Robots (1996, background): “One the other hand, local support given by winning feature detectors to nearby neighbors tends to create a topological mapping of the input space (von der Malsburg, 1987).”
Social dynamics in the preschool (2005, background): “This interaction between scales is an example of circular causality (Haken, 1987).”
Self-organization of cognitive performance. (2003, background): “Interaction-dominant dynamics are described mathematically as in a multiplication table of interactions (Abraham, 1987).”
Contrasting Approaches to Perceiving and Acting With Others (2006, background): “A “social physics” view on dynamics, for instance (Iberall, 1987; Iberall & Soodak, 1987; Iberall & Wilkinson, 1993), suggests that a basic social unit emerges in response to natural attractive forces among atomisms (i.e., individuals) that pull them toward each other temporarily (i.e., a brief…”
