The inner screen model of consciousness: applying the free energy principle directly to the study of conscious experience
Maxwell J. D. Ramstead, Mahault Albarracin, Alex Kiefer +4
This paper presents a model of consciousness that follows directly from the free-energy principle (FEP). We first rehearse the classical and quantum formulations of the FEP. In par…
Designing Ecosystems of Intelligence from First Principles
Karl J Friston, Maxwell J D Ramstead, Alex B Kiefer +17
This white paper lays out a vision of research and development in the field of artificial intelligence for the next decade (and beyond). Its denouement is a cyber-physical ecosyste…
Capsule Networks as Generative Models
Alex B. Kiefer, Beren Millidge, Alexander Tschantz +1
Capsule networks are a neural network architecture specialized for visual scene recognition. Features and pose information are extracted from a scene and then dynamically routed th…
Efficient search of active inference policy spaces using k-means
Alex B. Kiefer, Mahault Albarracin
We develop an approach to policy selection in active inference that allows us to efficiently search large policy spaces by mapping each policy to its embedding in a vector space. W…
An Analytical Survey on Recent Trends in High Dimensional Data Visualization
Alexander Kiefer, Md. Khaledur Rahman
Data visualization is the process by which data of any size or dimensionality is processed to produce an understandable set of data in a lower dimensionality, allowing it to be man…
Psychophysical identity and free energy
Alex B. Kiefer
An approach to implementing variational Bayesian inference in biological systems is considered, under which the thermodynamic free energy of a system directly encodes its variation…
