Active Inference Institute
Chapter 8 unifies concepts from perception and action by integrating inference, attention, and learning within a framework designed for continuous state spaces. This model expands beyond simple hidden states to include beliefs about first-order parameters governing transitions and observations, as w …
Active Inference Institute
Chapter 8 serves as a pivotal extension of the active generalized filtering model introduced in previous chapters, focusing on two primary directions: hierarchical structures and multiple time scales. The discussion begins by reviewing the foundational concepts where perception acts as short-term be …
Active Inference Institute
In Chapter 7 of the Fundamentals of Active Inference series, the framework expands beyond perception-only models to formally incorporate action as a mechanism for directly altering environmental observations. This transition relies on treating observations as functions of actions and utilizing forwa …
Active Inference Institute
Chapter 7 of Active Inference introduces active generalized filtering by integrating action into a continuous time formulation that differs significantly from discrete time models relying on explicit policy rollouts or counterfactuals for planning. Instead of treating actions as part of an agent's g …
