Resilience and active inference
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

Epistemic Communities under Active Inference
Entropy, 2022 The spread of ideas is a fundamental concern of today’s news ecology. Understanding the dynamics of the spread of information and its co-option by interested parties is of critical importance.

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 ...

Active Inference: A Process Theory [PDF]
Neural Computation, 2017 This article describes a process theory based on active inference and belief propagation. Starting from the premise that all neuronal processing (and action selection) can be explained by maximizing Bayesian model evidence—or minimizing variational free ...

Active Inference and Auditory Hallucinations [PDF]
Computational Psychiatry, 2018 Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are often distressing symptoms of several neuropsychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia. Using a Markov decision process formulation of active inference, we develop a novel model of AVH as false (positive ...

Entropy, 2021 Active inference theory (AIT) is a corollary of the free-energy principle, which formalizes cognition of living system’s autopoietic organization. AIT comprises specialist terminology and mathematics used in theoretical neurobiology.

Active Inferants: An Active Inference Framework for Ant Colony Behavior [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 In this paper, we introduce an active inference model of ant colony foraging behavior, and implement the model in a series of in silico experiments. Active inference is a multiscale approach to behavioral modeling that is being applied across settings in

Understanding, Explanation, and Active Inference [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021 While machine learning techniques have been transformative in solving a range of problems, an important challenge is to understand why they arrive at the decisions they output.

Active Inference and Intentional Behavior
Neural ComputationRecent advances in theoretical biology suggest that key definitions of basal cognition and sentient behavior may arise as emergent properties of in vitro cell cultures and neuronal networks.

Active Inference: Demystified and Compared [PDF]
Neural Computation, 2021 Active inference is a first principle account of how autonomous agents operate in dynamic, nonstationary environments. This problem is also considered in reinforcement learning, but limited work exists on comparing the two approaches on the same discrete-
