A new paper reviews Neural Cellular Automata (NCA), a technique combining Stephen Wolfram's Cellular Automata with artificial neural networks. NCAs can learn complex update rules from data, enabling them to model self-organizing generative systems. The authors provide a unified framework, notation, and a reference implementation in the open-source library NCAtorch. AI
