Understanding, Explanation, and Active Inference [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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. Some have argued that this necessitates augmenting machine intelligence with understanding such that, when queried, a machine is able to explain its behaviour (i.e., explainable

Active inference and learning [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2016
This paper offers an active inference account of choice behaviour and learning. It focuses on the distinction between goal-directed and habitual behaviour and how they contextualise each other.

Dopamine, reward learning, and active inference

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
Temporal difference learning models propose phasic dopamine signalling encodes reward prediction errors that drive learning. This is supported by studies where optogenetic stimulation of dopamine neurons can stand in lieu of actual reward.

Uncertainty, epistemics and active inference [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society Interface, 2017
Abstract Biological systems—like ourselves—are constantly faced with uncertainty. Despite noisy sensory data, and volatile environments, creatures appear to actively maintain their integrity. To account for this remarkable ability to make optimal decisions in the face of a capricious world, we propose a generative model that ...

Active inference, communication and hermeneutics

open access: yesCortex, 2015
Hermeneutics refers to interpretation and translation of text (typically ancient scriptures) but also applies to verbal and non-verbal communication. In a psychological setting it nicely frames the problem of inferring the intended content of a communication.
