World Model – “Free Energy” Selections of Perception & Policy
During their lives humans constantly interact with the physical environment, as well as with themselves and others.World model learning and inference are crucial concepts in brain and cognitive science, as well as in AI and robotics. The outstanding challenges of building a generalpurpose AI needs world modelling and probabilistic inference, needed to realise a brain-like…

VVUQ your model and twin – should we trust ?
The world is moving towards digital twins. I recently came across a insightfull article: A probabilistic graphical model foundation for enabling predictive digital twins at scale, available at Arxiv – & published Nature The digital twin is a set of coupled computational models that evolve over time to persistently represent the structure, behavior, and context…

Learning: Brain vs xNN
The neural and cognitive architecture for learning from a small sample is a nice article I would like to recommend. It highlights how human learners avoid generalization issues found in machine learning, proposes a general model explaining how the brain may simplify complex problems. Synergy between cognitive functions and reinforcement learning allows simplification.Recurrent loops between…

Less = More, “Lets Kill”
One of the great readings recently was the article from Adams, G.S., Converse, B.A., Hales, A.H. et al. in Nature: People systematically overlook subtractive changes. The summary video, clearly marks the point: Experiments show that people default to adding as a solution in various situations. It appears to be an uncommon insight. When solving problems, people prefer adding…

We do not only need multi-stakeholder, there is also an urgent need to reflect about future generations: “Being a Good Ancestor.”
I just finished a nice reading on how we might motivate ourselves to think about a sustainable future. “The Good Ancestor” from Roman Krznaric is great in helping us to understand the urgent need to stop living in the tiranny of the now, and working toward long term thinking and intergenerational justice. Roman has strong…
