Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have created a neural network capable of creating maps using Minecraft.
According to the journal “Nature Machine Intelligence,” the research team developed a model capable of creating spatial maps using a predictive coding algorithm for neural networks (https://techxplore.com/news/2024-07-neural-network-minecraft.html).
The team, led by James Gornet, created two environments in Minecraft featuring complex elements such as trees, rivers, and caves. The neural network was also able to determine the location and predict the destination.
