Variational Filtering for Bayesian Last Layers with an Independent Binary Probit Surrogate

Dimitrije Markovic, Conor Heins, Alexander Tschantz +1

Modern deep classifiers trained by gradient descent need many passes over the data to become accurate, and even then are not always well calibrated; post-hoc temperature scaling co…

Active inference and artificial reasoning

Karl Friston, Lancelot Da Costa, Alexander Tschantz +4

This technical note considers the sampling of outcomes that provide the greatest amount of information about the structure of underlying world models. This generalisation furnishes…

AXIOM: Learning to Play Games in Minutes with Expanding Object-Centric Models

Conor Heins, Toon Van de Maele, Alexander Tschantz +11

Current deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approaches achieve state-of-the-art performance in various domains, but struggle with data efficiency compared to human learning, which le…

Variational Bayes Gaussian Splatting

Toon Van de Maele, Ozan Catal, Alexander Tschantz +2

Recently, 3D Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a promising approach for modeling 3D scenes using mixtures of Gaussians. The predominant optimization method for these models relies…

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…

Active Inference and Intentional Behaviour

Karl J. Friston, Tommaso Salvatori, Takuya Isomura +10

Recent advances in theoretical biology suggest that basal cognition and sentient behaviour are emergent properties of in vitro cell cultures and neuronal networks, respectively. Su…

Supervised structure learning

Karl J. Friston, Lancelot Da Costa, Alexander Tschantz +10

This paper concerns structure learning or discovery of discrete generative models. It focuses on Bayesian model selection and the assimilation of training data or content, with a s…
