Canonical neural networks perform active inference

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
Takuya Isomura, Hideaki Shimazaki and Karl Friston perform mathematical analysis to show that neural networks implicitly perform active inference and learning to minimise the risk associated with future outcomes.

Visual Search as Active Inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Visual search is an essential cognitive ability, offering a prototypical control problem to be addressed with Active Inference. Under a Naive Bayes assumption, the maximization of the information gain objective is consistent with the separation of the visual sensory flow in two independent pathways, namely the “What” and the “Where” pathways.

Transcendental model selection: a computational account of symbolic cognition and general intelligence through morality and culture

open access: yesFrontiers in Sociology
General intelligence enables flexible problem solving across diverse contexts by minimizing uncertainty. Symbolic systems such as language extend this capacity, allowing humans to build social groups and construct world models beyond typical biological ...

Active inference and the two-step task

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Sequential decision problems distill important challenges frequently faced by humans. Through repeated interactions with an uncertain world, unknown statistics need to be learned while balancing exploration and exploitation.

The Embodied Hijack: when Pleistocene minds meet disembodied artificial intelligence

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence into everyday life has intensified a long-standing feature of human cognition: the attribution of agency, intention, and understanding to nonhuman systems.

The Free Energy Principle for Perception and Action: A Deep Learning Perspective

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The free energy principle, and its corollary active inference, constitute a bio-inspired theory that assumes biological agents act to remain in a restricted set of preferred states of the world, i.e., they minimize their free energy. Under this principle,

Active inference in collective intelligence

open access: yes, 2021
This project, undertaken in the contexte of the Active Inference Lab, seeks to study the dynamics of collective intelligence from an active inference perspective.

Active Inference is a Subtype of Variational Inference

open access: yesCoRR
Automated decision-making under uncertainty requires balancing exploitation and exploration. Classical methods treat these separately using heuristics, while Active Inference unifies them through Expected Free Energy (EFE) minimization. However, EFE minimization is computationally expensive, limiting scalability. We build on recent theory recasting EFE

Thoughtseeds: A Hierarchical and Agentic Framework for Investigating Thought Dynamics in Meditative States

open access: yesEntropy
The Thoughtseeds Framework introduces a novel computational approach to modeling thought dynamics in meditative states, conceptualizing thoughtseeds as dynamic attentional agents that integrate information.

Expanding the Active Inference Landscape: More Intrinsic Motivations in the Perception-Action Loop

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018
Active inference is an ambitious theory that treats perception, inference, and action selection of autonomous agents under the heading of a single principle.
