A Mathematical Walkthrough and Discussion of the Free Energy Principle
Beren Millidge, Anil Seth, Christopher L Buckley
The Free-Energy-Principle (FEP) is an influential and controversial theory which postulates a deep and powerful connection between the stochastic thermodynamics of self-organizatio…
Habitual and Reflective Control in Hierarchical Predictive Coding
Paul F. Kinghorn, Beren Millidge, Christopher L. Buckley
In cognitive science, behaviour is often separated into two types. Reflexive control is habitual and immediate, whereas reflective is deliberative and time consuming. We examine th…
Predictive Coding: a Theoretical and Experimental Review
Beren Millidge, Anil Seth, Christopher L Buckley
Predictive coding offers a potentially unifying account of cortical function -- postulating that the core function of the brain is to minimize prediction errors with respect to a g…
Applications of the Free Energy Principle to Machine Learning and Neuroscience
Beren Millidge
In this PhD thesis, we explore and apply methods inspired by the free energy principle to two important areas in machine learning and neuroscience. The free energy principle is a g…
Towards a Mathematical Theory of Abstraction
Beren Millidge
While the utility of well-chosen abstractions for understanding and predicting the behaviour of complex systems is well appreciated, precisely what an abstraction has…
