Active inference and agency.
I greatly enjoyed Seth's compelling synthesis of sensorimotor contingencies and active inference. I would also like to thank Jim Hopkins for sending me the quote (below)-which speaks directly to the embodied nature of perceptual inference that underlies the perspectives reconciled in Seth (this issue). These perspectives include perception as hypothesis testing, affordance, and sensorimotor con...
متن کاملLinear Optimal Control Problems and Quadratic Cost Functions Estimation
Inverse optimal control is a classical problem of control theory. It was first posed by Kalman in the early sixties. The problem, as addressed in literature, answers to the following two questions: (a) Given system matrices A,B and a gain matrix K, find necessary and sufficient conditions for K to be the optimal of an infinite time LQ problem. (b) Determine all weight matrices Q, R and S which ...
متن کاملThe anatomy of choice: active inference and agency
This paper considers agency in the setting of embodied or active inference. In brief, we associate a sense of agency with prior beliefs about action and ask what sorts of beliefs underlie optimal behavior. In particular, we consider prior beliefs that action minimizes the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between desired states and attainable states in the future. This allows one to formulate bo...
متن کاملOptimal inference with suboptimal models: Addiction and active Bayesian inference
When casting behaviour as active (Bayesian) inference, optimal inference is defined with respect to an agent's beliefs - based on its generative model of the world. This contrasts with normative accounts of choice behaviour, in which optimal actions are considered in relation to the true structure of the environment - as opposed to the agent's beliefs about worldly states (or the task). This di...
متن کاملOptimal Control Problems with Symmetry Breaking Cost Functions
Abstract. We investigate symmetry reduction of optimal control problems for left-invariant control systems on Lie groups, with partial symmetry breaking cost functions. Our approach emphasizes the role of variational principles and considers a discrete-time setting as well as the standard continuous-time formulation. Specifically, we recast the optimal control problem as a constrained variation...
