Daniele Grattarola

Dr. Daniele Grattarola, a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL, specializes in graph neural networks and protein design. He dives deep into the captivating concept of emergence, comparing weak and strong emergence in complex systems. The discussion touches on how simple rules in cellular automata can lead to complex, intelligent behaviors. They also explore the philosophical implications of emergence, the predictability of complex systems, and how these ideas relate to advanced applications in artificial intelligence and protein folding.
