Soft Geometric Inductive Bias for Object Centric Dynamics
Hampus Linander, Conor Heins, Alexander Tschantz +2
Equivariance is a powerful prior for learning physical dynamics, yet exact group equivariance can degrade performance if the symmetries are broken. We propose object-centric world…
Bayesian Predictive Coding
Alexander Tschantz, Magnus Koudahl, Hampus Linander +4
Predictive coding (PC) is an influential theory of information processing in the brain, providing a biologically plausible alternative to backpropagation. It is motivated in terms…
Gradient-free variational learning with conditional mixture networks
Conor Heins, Hao Wu, Dimitrije Markovic +3
Balancing computational efficiency with robust predictive performance is crucial in supervised learning, especially for critical applications. Standard deep learning models, while…
From pixels to planning: scale-free active inference
Karl Friston, Conor Heins, Tim Verbelen +7
This paper describes a discrete state-space model -- and accompanying methods -- for generative modelling. This model generalises partially observed Markov decision processes to in…
