Active Inference: Applicability to Different Types of Social Organization Explained through Reference to Industrial Engineering and Quality Management

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Active inference is a physics of life process theory of perception, action and learning that is applicable to natural and artificial agents. In this paper, active inference theory is related to different types of practice in social organization.

Reward Maximization Through Discrete Active Inference

open access: yesNeural Computation, 2023
Active inference is a probabilistic framework for modeling the behavior of biological and artificial agents, which derives from the principle of minimizing free energy.

Impulsivity and Active Inference [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019
This paper characterizes impulsive behavior using a patch-leaving paradigm and active inference—a framework for describing Bayes optimal behavior. This paradigm comprises different environments (patches) with limited resources that decline over time at different rates.

Resilience as the Ability to Maintain Well-Being: An Allostatic Active Inference Model

open access: yesJournal 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.

Optimal inference with suboptimal models:Addiction and active Bayesian inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
When casting behaviour as active (Bayesian) inference, optimal inference is defined with respect to an agent's beliefs - based on its generative model of the world.

An Active-Inference Approach to Second-Person Neuroscience

open access: yesPerspectives on Psychological Science, 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 ...

Equilibrium in the Computing Continuum through Active Inference [PDF]

open access: yesFuture generations computer systems, 2023
Computing Continuum (CC) systems are challenged to ensure the intricate requirements of each computational tier. Given the system's scale, the Service Level Objectives (SLOs) which are expressed as these requirements, must be broken down into smaller ...

Deep active inference [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Cybernetics, 2018
This work combines the free energy principle from cognitive neuroscience and the ensuing active inference dynamics with recent advances in variational inference in deep generative models, and evolution strategies to introduce the "deep active inference" agent.

Active inference and learning [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroscience & 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. We show that habits emerge naturally (and autodidactically) from sequential policy optimisation when agents are equipped with state-action policies.

Active Topology Inference using Network Coding [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Our goal is to infer the topology of a network when (i) we can send probes between sources and receivers at the edge of the network and (ii) intermediate nodes can perform simple network coding operations, i.e., additions.
