To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia
#starterpacks, let's share introductions to the literature of our different fields.

Here are the 12 main types of scientific papers on active inference (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com). #activeinference #freeenergyprinciple #neuroskyence

Is the origin of life a chemistry problem or a cognitive science problem? @drmichaellevin & Chris Fields argue it's the latter! #FEP #OriginOfLife #cognitivescience #FermiParadox #FreeEnergyPrinciple

Our new #arXiv paper out!
"Learning by Surprise": #Surplexity for Mitigation Model Collapse in Generative AI

A new characterization of #modelcollapse in #ai #autophagy and a mitigation inspired by #FreeEnergyPrinciple from cognitive science

Congrats to Ukyo Tazawa for publishing his first first-author paper in Neural Networks!🎉 He develops a new Bayesian model selection method based on a synaptic pruning rule derived from the variational principle.

Passed my viva last Friday — truly living la viva voce right now.
Huge thanks to my entire supervisory team for keeping me steady through every twist, turn, and neural circuit.

Most investors lose because they're running a predictive model in a system that punishes prediction.

#Axiom offers an alternative to the artificial #NeuralNetworks that are dominant in modern #AI. It draws #inspiration from the #FreeEnergyPrinciple, #InformationTheory as well as #Biology. www.wired.com/story/a-deep...

Wanja Wiese and Karl J. Friston argue that we need to search for #computational correlates of #consciousness beside #NCC. With the #FreeEnergyPrinciple, we may even distinguish systems that truly are conscious from those that merely simulate it: doi.org/10.33735/phi...

Neurons learn through incentives! 💡

DishBrain got chaotic stimuli when it missed the ball, and predictable stimuli when it hit.

This highlights the "free energy principle" - minimizing surprise!

How can we apply this to AI training?
