Spatial and Temporal Hierarchy for Autonomous Navigation using Active Inference in Minigrid Environment

Daria de Tinguy, Toon van de Maele, Tim Verbelen +1

Robust evidence suggests that humans explore their environment using a combination of topological landmarks and coarse-grained path integration. This approach relies on identifiabl…

Bayesian sparsification for deep neural networks with Bayesian model reduction

Dimitrije Marković, Karl J. Friston, Stefan J. Kiebel

Deep learning's immense capabilities are often constrained by the complexity of its models, leading to an increasing demand for effective sparsification techniques. Bayesian sparsi…

On efficient computation in active inference

Aswin Paul, Noor Sajid, Lancelot Da Costa +1

Despite being recognized as neurobiologically plausible, active inference faces difficulties when employed to simulate intelligent behaviour in complex environments due to its comp…

Collective behavior from surprise minimization

Conor Heins, Beren Millidge, Lancelot da Costa +3

Collective motion is ubiquitous in nature; groups of animals, such as fish, birds, and ungulates appear to move as a whole, exhibiting a rich behavioral repertoire that ranges from…

Realising Synthetic Active Inference Agents, Part II: Variational Message Updates

Thijs van de Laar, Magnus Koudahl, Bert de Vries

The Free Energy Principle (FEP) describes (biological) agents as minimising a variational Free Energy (FE) with respect to a generative model of their environment. Active Inference…
