Active Inference as the Test-Time Scaling Law for Physical AI Agents

Omar Hashash, Christo Kurisummoottil Thomas, Walid Saad +3

In this paper, a novel test-time scaling law for physical artificial intelligence (AI) agents is introduced. This scaling law enables physical AI agents to reason with their world…

Toward World Models for Epidemiology

Zeeshan Memon, Yiqi Su, Christo Kurisummoottil Thomas +3

World models have emerged as a unifying paradigm for learning latent dynamics, simulating counterfactual futures, and supporting planning under uncertainty. In this paper, we argue…
