Artificial life is a research field studying what processes and properties define life, based on a multidisciplinary approach spanning the physical, natural and computational sciences. Artificial life aims to foster a comprehensive study of life beyond "life as we know it" and towards "life as it could be", with theoretical, synthetic and empirical models of the fundamental properties of living systems. While still a relatively young field, artificial life has flourished as an environment for researchers with different backgrounds, welcoming ideas and contributions from a wide range of subjects. Hybrid Life is an attempt to bring attention to some of the most recent developments within the artificial life community, rooted in more traditional artificial life studies but looking at new challenges emerging from interactions with other fields. In particular, Hybrid Life focuses on three complementary themes: 1) theories of systems and agents, 2) hybrid augmentation, with augmented architectures combining living and artificial systems, and 3) hybrid interactions among artificial and biological systems. After discussing some of the major sources of inspiration for these themes, we will focus on an overview of the works that appeared in Hybrid Life special sessions, hosted by the annual Artificial Life Conference between 2018 and 2022.

为什么我们有时会感知静态图像，好像他们在移动？视觉运动幻想享受持续普及，但对他们为何的问题没有明确的答案。我们提出了一种生成模型，进化错觉发生器（eIgen），它创造了新的视觉运动幻想。特征的结构支持虚幻动作可能是感知大脑自己的预测的结果，而不是感知从眼睛的原始视觉输入。本文的科学动机是证明了虚幻运动的感知可能是大脑预测能力的副作用。本文的哲学动机是引起注意“激励故障”的未开发潜力，作为生物系统失败的人工系统失败的方式，作为人工智能和人工生命研究的有价值的出口。

我们介绍了延迟感知网络加速度（LANA） - 一种在神经结构上建立的方法，用于加速神经网络的神经结构搜索技术和教师学生蒸馏。 Lana由两个阶段组成：在第一阶段，它会使用层面特征映射蒸馏来列举每层教师网络的许多替代操作。在第二阶段，它解决了使用新颖的整数线性优化（ILP）方法的有效操作的组合选择。 ILP带来独特的属性，因为它（i）在几秒钟内执行NAS，（ii）轻松满足预算约束，（iii）在图层粒度上工作，（iv）支持巨大的搜索空间$ o（10 ^ { 100}）$，超越先前的搜索方法，效率和效率。在广泛的实验中，我们表明Lana产生了由目标潜伏期预算限制的有效和准确的模型，同时比其他技术明显快。我们分析了三个流行的网络架构：高效的网络，高效网络和reses，并在压缩较大模型的较小模型的延迟级别时，实现所有型号（高达3.0 \％$）的准确性改进。 Lana通过GPU和CPU实现显着的加速（高达5美元\倍），以没有准确性下降。代码将很快分享。
