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…
Soft Geometric Inductive Bias for Object Centric Dynamics
Hampus Linander, Conor Heins, Alexander Tschantz +2
Equivariance is a powerful prior for learning physical dynamics, yet exact group equivariance can degrade performance if the symmetries are broken. We propose object-centric world…
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…
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…
Bayesian Predictive Coding
Alexander Tschantz, Magnus Koudahl, Hampus Linander +4
Predictive coding (PC) is an influential theory of information processing in the brain, providing a biologically plausible alternative to backpropagation. It is motivated in terms…
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…
