Syllabus: Spinning Up in Active Inference and the Free Energy Principle, by Jared Tumiel

A list of materials that gives you the necessary background to understand the full Free Energy Principle (and Active Inference), which also functions as a reasonably complete map of the territory so that people can quickly see what the field encompasses and how the parts relate. Our syllabus should cater to the kinds of people who end up interested in the FEP, so should include different starting points and different levels of technical detail.

AXIOM: Learning to Play Games in Minutes with Expanding Object-Centric Models

Introduces a novel Active Inference architecture that accelerates learning in low-data environments by embedding object-centric priors and modeling sparse object-object interactions. Unlike traditional Active Inference models designed for single domains, AXIOM (Active eXpanding Inference with Object-centric Models) generalizes across tasks by learning from individual events and refining its structure through Bayesian model growth and reduction. It achieves human-level data efficiency, mastering tasks within 10,000 interactions, while avoiding the high data demands and poor generalization typical of deep reinforcement learning.

“Deep Learning is Rubbish”  Karl Friston & Yann LeCun Face Off at Davos 2024 World Economic Forum

In a panel hosted by the Financial Times at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, two of the biggest names in artificial intelligence — Dr. Karl Friston of VERSES AI, and Dr. Yann LeCun of Meta — discussed their aligned, yet contrasting visions for the future of AI, with Friston proclaiming, “Deep Learning is Rubbish,” with Yann LeCun asserting, “The future of AI is non-generative.”
