Free-energy Minimization and The Dark Room Problem
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Recent years have seen the emergence of an important new fundamental theory of brain function. This theory brings information-theoretic, Bayesian, neuroscientific, and machine learning approaches into a single framework whose overarching principle is the

Surprise-hacking consists of the pre-experimental planning and staging of counterintuitive and negative results (such as blindness, bias, and irrationality).

Pun Generation with Surprise [PDF]
North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2019 We tackle the problem of generating a pun sentence given a pair of homophones (e.g., “died” and “dyed”). Puns are by their very nature statistically anomalous and not amenable to most text generation methods that are supervised by a large corpus. In this

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
