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.

Beyond Imitation Games: A Falsifiable Emergent Sentience Framework

VERSES Research Blog – by Ines Hipolito – “As artificial intelligence weaves itself ever more tightly into the fabric of society an age-old question looms larger: Can machines be conscious? This inquiry has been a North star guiding VERSES research and to truly understand machine consciousness we felt the need to rethink our approach from the ground up. Following is a high level summary of a paper we recently published as a pre-printed, Beyond Imitation Games: A Falsifiable Emergent Sentience Framework.”
