AVCG: A Generalized Variational Framework for Counterfactual Generation under Hypothesis Distributions
Jamie Duell, Alejandro Jimenez Rodriguez, Mahault Albarracin
Counterfactual explanations formalize "what-if" scenarios by identifying modifications to an input instance that obtain a desired alternative prediction. Traditionally, whether gen…
Life as Plasmas: Autonomy and Interactivism in-materio
Nicolás Hinrichs, Mahault Albarracin, Felipe Engelberger +2
When is a material system a candidate for life at all? We argue that this question is prior to behavior, functional architecture, or computational capacity, and that at root it is…
Active Inference: A method for Phenotyping Agency in AI systems?
Philip Wilson, Axel Constant, Mahault Albarracin +4
The proliferation of agentic artificial intelligence has outpaced the conceptual tools needed to characterize agency in computational systems. Prevailing definitions mainly rely on…
Empathy Modeling in Active Inference Agents for Perspective-Taking and Alignment
Mahault Albarracin, Hongju Pae, Philip Wilson +4
Artificial agents that model other agents must predict their behavior and determine whether their outcomes matter within action selection. We introduce an active inference framewor…
