Active inference explained with Prof. Karl Friston

This is one of the most profound and informative dialogue with Karl Friston..deeply grateful for your stimulating questions

Ive been watching every interview with friston and this is one of the if not the best one.

My dear son Congradulation, great job Narges

Thank you very much for this amazing interview about the most importand subject

35:38 beautiful metaphor of the "mountain range" (genesis of stream becoming a river as it goes downhill). Another lay-person here, loving every time a real life example is made. I second @WP Thank you for posting this!!!

Great video, as always, keep it up MLDawn

Thank you for a genuinely delightful discussion. I am a lay person in all the subject matter that relates to the Free Energy Principle (FEP), whether it is physics, machine learning, robotics, thermodynamics, information science, or what have you. I am exploring the topic in an attempt to grasp where science has brought us in answering those age old questions about being, self, free will, etc., that philosophers and theologians have pondered for millennia. Each time I see one of these interdisciplinary discussions with Professor Friston I get new perspectives and improved understanding of the science and the philosophy. In this case, the discussion about over parameterizations finely cleared up in my mind Friston's reference to "sharp minima," which I had heard him mention before. The part discussing the difference between structured learning and FEP was similarly informative. Very well done on those topics and throughout.

Excellent, brother, excellent! Both the content and the idea of such interviews :)

It would be easier to look at the equations after watching the human talk. My beliefs about active inference are starting to form.

I'm developing an artificial agent based on active inference and epistemic foraging. If anyone would like to help or offer suggestions, I'd like to hear from you.
