Project Updates - 2024

February Update 2025

• Implemented and trained later stages of the Growing NCA model, including our version of the persisting model.
• Implemented and trained image recognition models in the methodology specified by Image Segmentation NCA and then Med-NCA.
• Implemented and trained Self-Organising Textures.
• Continued background research for competitive methods for proposed usages of NCA.
• Re-vamped the website to use Next.js, making the website cleaner more maintainable.
• Added completed models for Textures to the website and added final randomising function for Growing NCA.
• Added educational pages to the website.

October Update 2024

• Re-wrote and fixed our growing cat model, including training and model code.
• Almost finished translation of growing cat model into WebGPU, except components requiring randomisation.
• Did substantial background research onto current state of the art in Neural Cellular Automata & related
• Finalised summer team and delivered training sessions
• Created automatic learning rate adjustment for training NCA

July Update 2024

Website Launch! The first iteration of the website is hosted Featuring: Conway's life, life-like, larger than life and continuous ca Literature searching conducted for NCA, getting an understanding of the major papers regarding NCA
