Symbiosis: Multi-Adapter Inference and Fine-Tuning
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) allows model builders to capture the task specific parameters into adapters, which are a fraction of the size of the original base model. Popularity of PEFT technique for fine-tuning has led to creation of a large number of adapters for popular Large Language Models (LLMs). However, existing frameworks fall short in supporting inference or fine-tuning with multiple adapters in the following ways. 1) For fine-tuning, each job needs to deploy its dedicated b…

Plant-Centric Metaverse: A Biocentric-Creation Framework for Ecological Art and Digital Symbiosis
Digital ecological art represents an emergent frontier where biological media converge with virtual environments. This study examines the paradigm shift from anthropocentric to plant-centered artistic narratives within the metaverse, contextualizing how digital platforms transform ecological expression. However, current frameworks fail to systematically guide artists in leveraging plant agency for digital symbiosis that transcends human-centered creation. We propose the Biocentric-Creation Tran…

Dilution, Diffusion and Symbiosis in Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma with Reinforcement Learning
Recent studies in the spatial prisoner's dilemma games with reinforcement learning have shown that static agents can learn to cooperate through a diverse sort of mechanisms, including noise injection, different types of learning algorithms and neighbours' payoff knowledge.In this work, using an independent multi-agent Q-learning algorithm, we study the effects of dilution and mobility in the spatial version of the prisoner's dilemma. Within this setting, different possible actions for the algor…

Forgive and Forget? An Industry 5.0 Approach to Trust-Fatigue Co-regulation in Human-Cobot Order Picking
This paper investigates the critical role of trust and fatigue in human-cobot collaborative order picking, framing the challenge within the scope of Logistics 5.0 -- the implementation of human-robot symbiosis in smart logistics. We propose a dynamic, leader-follower Stackelberg game to model this interaction, where utility functions explicitly account for human fatigue and trust. Through agent-based simulations, we demonstrate that while a naive model leads to a "trust death spiral," a refined…

Beyond Rigid AI: Towards Natural Human-Machine Symbiosis for Interoperative Surgical Assistance
Emerging surgical data science and robotics solutions, especially those designed to provide assistance in situ, require natural human-machine interfaces to fully unlock their potential in providing adaptive and intuitive aid. Contemporary AI-driven solutions remain inherently rigid, offering limited flexibility and restricting natural human-machine interaction in dynamic surgical environments. These solutions rely heavily on extensive task-specific pre-training, fixed object categories, and exp…

Long-term resilience of online battle over vaccines and beyond
What has been the impact of the enormous amounts of time, effort and money spent promoting pro-vaccine science from pre-COVID-19 to now? We answer this using a unique mapping of online competition between pro- and anti-vaccination views among ~100M Facebook Page members, tracking 1,356 interconnected communities through platform interventions. Remarkably, the network's fundamental architecture shows no change: the isolation of established expertise and the symbiosis of anti and mainstream neutr…

Can We Tell if ChatGPT is a Parasite? Studying Human-AI Symbiosis with Game Theory
This work asks whether a human interacting with a generative AI system can merge into a single individual through iterative, information-driven interactions. We model the interactions between a human, a generative AI system, and the human's wider environment as a three-player stochastic game. We use information-theoretic measures (entropy, mutual information, and transfer entropy) to show that our modelled human and generative AI are able to form an aggregate individual in the sense of Krakauer…

A Framework for Energy Management Modelling in Hubs for Circularity
The concept Hubs for Circularity (H4C) represents integrated systems that combine efficient use of clean energy and circular economy to enhance resource efficiency within a region. H4C benefit from the geographical proximity of different industries within industrial zones and the surrounding urban and rural areas, allowing them to share resources, technology, and infrastructure. They reduce the use of virgin resources through Industrial Symbiosis (IS), where one company uses waste of another co…

Non-reciprocal interactions reshape cells in a model for symbiosis
The shape of a cell influences and it is influenced by interactions with its neighbouring partners. Here, we introduce a coarse-grained model of non-reciprocal interactions between single-cell organisms to study emergent morphologies during symbiotic association. We show that the cell membrane can be remodelled into branched protrusions, invaginations, transient blebs and other dynamical phases that depend on the number of interacting partners, the asymmetry, and the magnitude of partnership ac…

Extended Creativity: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Human-AI Creative Relations
Artificial Intelligence holds significant potential to enhance human creativity. However, achieving this vision requires a clearer understanding of how such enhancement can be effectively realized. Adopting the perspective of distributed creativity, we identify three primary modes through which AI can contribute to creative processes: Support, where AI acts as a tool; Synergy, where AI and humans collaborate in complementary ways; and Symbiosis, where human and AI cognition become so integrated…
