Active Inference in Robotics and Artificial Agents: Survey and Challenges
Pablo Lanillos, Cristian Meo, Corrado Pezzato +8
Active inference is a mathematical framework which originated in computational neuroscience as a theory of how the brain implements action, perception and learning. Recently, it ha…
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…
How particular is the physics of the free energy principle?
Miguel Aguilera, Beren Millidge, Alexander Tschantz +1
The free energy principle (FEP) states that any dynamical system can be interpreted as performing Bayesian inference upon its surrounding environment. In this work, we examine in d…
Understanding the Origin of Information-Seeking Exploration in Probabilistic Objectives for Control
Beren Millidge, Anil Seth, Christopher Buckley
The exploration-exploitation trade-off is central to the description of adaptive behaviour in fields ranging from machine learning, to biology, to economics. While many approaches…
