Nonparametric analysis of inter‐individual relations using an attention‐based neural network by Takashi Morita, Aru Toyoda, Seitaro Aisu, Akihisa Kaneko, Naoko Suda‐Hashimoto, Ikuma Adachi, Ikki Matsuda, Hiroki Koda

“…Animal social networks are typically drawn based on the geometric proximity and/or frequency of social behaviours (e.g. grooming), but the appropriate metric for inter‐individual relationship is not clear, especially when prior knowledge on the species/data is limited. In this study, researchers explored a nonparametric analysis of inter‐individual relations using a neural network with the attention mechanism, which plays a central role in natural language processing. …”
