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 کاملScalable Inference in Hierarchical Generative Models
Borrowing insights from computational neuroscience, we present a family of inference algorithms for a class of generative statistical models specifically designed to run on commonly-available distributed-computing hardware. The class of generative models is roughly based on the architecture of the visual cortex and shares some of the same structural and computational characteristics. In additio...
متن کاملAsymptotically exact inference in differentiable generative models
Many generative models can be expressed as a differentiable function of random inputs drawn from some simple probability density. This framework includes both deep generative architectures such as Variational Autoencoders and a large class of procedurally defined simulator models. We present a method for performing efficient MCMC inference in such models when conditioning on observations of the...
متن کاملType Inference and Subtyping for Higher-Order Generative Communication
Models for generative communication use a common space, where concurrent agents put or retrieve data; data extraction is controlled by various kinds of filtering techniques, usually based on the structure of the data itself. However, for higher-order communication, i.e. when the data consists of software fragments, such techniques are not appropriate: structural information does not reflect the...
متن کاملUsing Petri Nets for Specifying Active Objects and Generative Communication
This paper presents an introduction to an approach for modelling, implementing and reasoning upon systems, based on principles of concurrent object-orientation, generative communication and Petri nets. The approach is illustrated through a case study, proposed by C. Sibertin-Blanc. The case is a variant of the well known dining philosophers problem, called \the Hurried Philosophers" problem.
