Embodied decisions as active inference. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyDecision-making is often conceptualized as a serial process, during which sensory evidence is accumulated for the choice alternatives until a certain threshold is reached, at which point a decision is made and an action is executed.

From pixels to planning: scale-free active inference [PDF]
Frontiers in Network PhysiologyThis paper describes a discrete state-space model and accompanying methods for generative modeling. This model generalizes partially observed Markov decision processes to include paths as latent variables, rendering it suitable for active inference and ...

Deconstructing deep active inference [PDF]
Social Science Research Network, 2023 Active inference is a theory of perception, learning and decision making, which can be applied to neuroscience, robotics, and machine learning. Recently, reasearch has been taking place to scale up this framework using Monte-Carlo tree search and deep ...

Resilience and active inference [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 In this article, we aim to conceptualize and formalize the construct of resilience using the tools of active inference, a new physics-based modeling approach apt for the description and analysis of complex adaptive systems. We intend this as a first step

Shared Protentions in Multi-Agent Active Inference [PDF]
EntropyIn this paper, we unite concepts from Husserlian phenomenology, the active inference framework in theoretical biology, and category theory in mathematics to develop a comprehensive framework for understanding social action premised on shared goals.

An Active Inference Model of Collective Intelligence [PDF]
Entropy, 2021 Collective intelligence, an emergent phenomenon in which a composite system of multiple interacting agents performs at levels greater than the sum of its parts, has long compelled research efforts in social and behavioral sciences.

Decision, Inference, and Information: Formal Equivalences Under Active Inference [PDF]
EntropyA central challenge in artificial intelligence and cognitive science is identifying a unifying principle that governs inference, learning, and action. Active inference proposes such a principle: the minimization of variational free energy.

Resilience as the Ability to Maintain Well-Being: An Allostatic Active Inference Model [PDF]
Journal of Intelligence, 2023 Resilience is often characterized as the outcome of well-being maintenance despite threats to that well-being. We suggest that resilience can also be characterized as an emotional-intelligence-related ability to obtain this outcome.

An Active-Inference Approach to Second-Person Neuroscience. [PDF]
Perspect Psychol Sci, 2023 Social neuroscience has often been criticized for approaching the investigation of the neural processes that enable social interaction and cognition from a passive, detached, third-person perspective, without involving any real-time social interaction ...

The role of active inference in conscious awareness. [PDF]
PLoS ONEActive inference, a first-principles framework for modelling the behaviour of sentient agents, is beginning to be applied in consciousness research. One hypothesis arising from the framework is that active inference is necessary for changes in conscious ...
