I research Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence. I am especially interested in finding which definitions of these concepts, 'Life' and 'Intelligence', are most useful to help us implement them inside artificial systems. I have recently been working on the relationship between failure and learning, and its application to the study of visual illusions as well as classification and reinforcement learning. My ongoing projects also include research in the domains of Astrobiology (finding life in the universe), Open Ended Evolution, and cellular automata. I have been advocating for open science and promoting new research practices through community service for various science organizations, as well as through my Open Collaboration platform 'Mimosa'.

"If you want to accomplish in your life, one thing that would contribute to the future of humanity - what is that?" How do researchers at Sony CSL reflect on these questions and engage with their own research? And what kind of place is Sony Computer Science Laboratories, shaped by such individuals? Through the words of the researchers themselves, we hope to share part of that perspective.
