Emergent classicality in general multipartite states and channels [PDF]
Quantum, 2021 In a quantum measurement process, classical information about the measured system spreads throughout the environment. Meanwhile, quantum information about the system becomes inaccessible to local observers.

The Emperor's New Markov Blankets [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2021 AbstractThe free energy principle, an influential framework in computational neuroscience and theoretical neurobiology, starts from the assumption that living systems ensure adaptive exchanges with their environment by minimizing the objective function of variational free energy.

Analyzing Markov Boundary Discovery Algorithms in Ideal Conditions Using the d-Separation Criterion
Algorithms, 2022 This article proposes the usage of the d-separation criterion in Markov Boundary Discovery algorithms, instead of or alongside the statistical tests of conditional independence these algorithms usually rely on.

Parcels and particles: Markov blankets in the brain [PDF]
Network Neuroscience, 2021 At the inception of human brain mapping, two principles of functional anatomy underwrote most conceptions—and analyses—of distributed brain responses: namely, functional segregation and integration. There are currently two main approaches to characterizing functional integration. The first is a mechanistic modeling of connectomics in terms of directed

Informative Priors for Markov Blanket Discovery [PDF]
, 2012 We present a novel interpretation of information theoretic feature selection as optimization of a discriminative model. We show that this formulation coincides with a group of mutual information based filter heuristics in the literature, and show how our probabilistic framework gives a well-founded extension for informative priors.

Reverse engineering of modified genes by Bayesian network analysis defines molecular determinants critical to the development of glioblastoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In this study we have identified key genes that are critical in development of astrocytic tumors. Meta-analysis of microarray studies which compared normal tissue to astrocytoma revealed a set of 646 differentially expressed genes in the majority of ...

Some Interesting Observations on the Free Energy Principle
Entropy, 2021 Biehl et al. (2021) present some interesting observations on an early formulation of the free energy principle. We use these observations to scaffold a discussion of the technical arguments that underwrite the free energy principle.

How to Knit Your Own Markov Blanket [PDF]
, 2017 Hohwy (Hohwy 2016, Hohwy 2017) argues there is a tension between the free energy principle and leading depictions of mind as embodied, enactive, and extended (so-called ‘EEE1 cognition’).

Joint Markov Blankets in Feature Sets Extracted from Wavelet Packet Decompositions
Entropy, 2011 Since two decades, wavelet packet decompositions have been shown effective as a generic approach to feature extraction from time series and images for the prediction of a target variable.
