Antifragility for Intelligent Autonomous Systems
Antifragile systems grow measurably better in the presence of hazards. This is in contrast to fragile systems which break down in the presence of hazards, robust systems that tolerate hazards up to a certain degree, and resilient systems that -- like self-healing systems -- revert to their earlier expected behavior after a period of convalescence. The notion of antifragility was introduced by Taleb for economics systems, but its applicability has been illustrated in biological and engineering domains as well. In this paper, we propose an architecture that imparts antifragility to intelligent autonomous systems, specifically those that are goal-driven and based on AI-planning. We argue that this architecture allows the system to self-improve by uncovering new capabilities obtained either through the hazards themselves (opportunistic) or through deliberation (strategic). An AI planning-based case study of an autonomous wheeled robot is presented. We show that with the proposed architecture, the robot develops antifragile behaviour with respect to an oil spill hazard.

Antifragility as a complex system's response to perturbations, volatility, and time
Antifragility characterizes the benefit of a dynamical system derived from the variability in environmental perturbations. Antifragility carries a precise definition that quantifies a system's output response to input va…
Stocks and Cryptocurrencies: Anti-fragile or Robust?
In contrast with robust systems that resist noise or fragile systems that break with noise, antifragility is defined as a property of complex systems that benefit from noise or disorder. Here we define and test a simple …

Antifragility Predicts the Robustness and Evolvability of Biological Networks through Multi-class Classification with a Convolutional Neural Network
Robustness and evolvability are essential properties to the evolution of biological networks. To determine if a biological network is robust and/or evolvable, it is required to compare its functions before and after muta…
