The Markov blanket trick: On the scope of the free energy principle and active inference.
Physics of Life Reviews, 2021 The free energy principle (FEP) has been presented as a unified brain theory, as a general principle for the self-organization of biological systems, and most recently as a principle for a theory of every thing.

Directed acyclic graphs and causal thinking in clinical risk prediction modeling
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020 Background In epidemiology, causal inference and prediction modeling methodologies have been historically distinct. Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) are used to model a priori causal assumptions and inform variable selection strategies for causal questions.

A hybrid algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning with application to multi-label learning [PDF]
, 2014 We present a novel hybrid algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning, called H2PC. It first reconstructs the skeleton of a Bayesian network and then performs a Bayesian-scoring greedy hill-climbing search to orient the edges.

IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2023 Bayesian networks (BNs) have become popular in recent years to describe natural phenomena in situations where causal linkages are important to understand. In order to get around the inherent non-tractability of learning BNs, Srivastava et al.

A Technical Critique of Some Parts of the Free Energy Principle
Entropy, 2021 We summarize the original formulation of the free energy principle and highlight some technical issues. We discuss how these issues affect related results involving generalised coordinates and, where appropriate, mention consequences for and reveal, up ...

Online Feature Selection for Streaming Features Using Self-Adaption Sliding-Window Sampling
IEEE Access, 2019 In recent years, online feature selection has been a research topic on streaming feature mining, as it can reduce the dimensionality of the streaming features by removing the irrelevant and redundant features in real time.

An Active Inference Account of Touch and Verbal Communication in Therapy
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 This paper offers theoretical explanations for why “guided touch” or manual touch with verbal communication can be an effective way of treating the body (e.g., chronic pain) and the mind (e.g., emotional disorders).

Where there is life there is mind: In support of a strong life-mind continuity thesis [PDF]
, 2017 This paper considers questions about continuity and discontinuity between life and mind. It begins by examining such questions from the perspective of the free energy principle (FEP).

Two generalizations of Markov blankets
CoRR, 2019 In a probabilistic graphical model on a set of variables $V$, the Markov blanket of a random vector $B$ is the minimal set of variables conditioned to which $B$ is independent from the remaining of the variables $V \backslash B$. We generalize Markov blankets to study how a set $C$ of variables of interest depends on~$B$.
