Active inference framework clarified in new research paper

Researchers have published a paper detailing active inference, a framework that frames decision-making as a form of inference. The work clarifies how expected free energy minimization relates to variational free energy minimization on augmented generative models. It also introduces entropy-correction terms and a planning correction to fully characterize active inference-based planning, offering a detailed message-passing scheme for its implementation. AI
