Titre : Peintures du sommeil par des fourmis artificielles Auteurs : Carlos M. Fernandes, Revue : Arts et sciences Numéro : Numéro 1 Volume : 1 Date : 2017/10/18 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2017.0179 ISSN : 2515-8767 Résumé : This paper provides technical and conceptual information on a swarm art project called Sleep Paintings. The project consists of a series of colour images generated by an ant-based clustering algorithm operating with sleep data sets extracted from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The algorithm was originally proposed for clustering and classification and is described by a simple set of equations that model the local behavior of artificial ants (data samples) in a way that, when travelling on a heterogeneous 2-dimensional lattice of vectors, they form clusters of similar data samples, while changing the vectors of the environmental lattice. The 2-dimensional colored abstract sketches of human sleep described in the paper result from the visualization of the lattice. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
