Active inference, communication and hermeneutics☆
Hermeneutics refers to interpretation and translation of text (typically ancient scriptures) but also applies to verbal and non-verbal communication. In a psychological setting it nicely frames the problem of inferring the intended content of a communication. In this paper, we offer a solution to the problem of neural hermeneutics based upon active inference. In active inference, action fulfils...
متن کاملActive inference, enactivism and the hermeneutics of social cognition
We distinguish between three philosophical views on the neuroscience of predictive models: predictive coding (associated with internal Bayesian models and prediction error minimization), predictive processing (associated with radical connectionism and ‘simple’ embodiment) and predictive engagement (associated with enactivist approaches to cognition). We examine the concept of active inference u...

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 کاملActive inference and learning
This paper offers an active inference account of choice behaviour and learning. It focuses on the distinction between goal-directed and habitual behaviour and how they contextualise each other. We show that habits emerge naturally (and autodidactically) from sequential policy optimisation when agents are equipped with state-action policies. In active inference, behaviour has explorative (episte...
متن کاملHermeneutics, information and representation
By drawing from semiology, epistemology and philosophical hermeneutics, we discuss the way that computer systems, particularly systems used in collaborative work, represent information, situation and activity. In other words, we focus on approaches to representation in design for computer–supported collaborative work (CSCW). We point out similarities between discourse in hermeneutics and in the...
