Active Inference

This book, written by Dr. Sanjeev Namjoshi, delves into the Active Inference framework and the Free Energy Principle (FEP).

It explains how these frameworks describe how biological and artificial systems maintain stability by minimizing uncertainty about their environment.

The book covers the theoretical foundations, including Bayesian mechanics and variational free energy minimization, and discusses the practical applications of Active Inference in perception, learning, attention, planning, and decision-making.

It contrasts Active Inference with traditional machine learning approaches, highlighting its natural capacity for exploration and curiosity through epistemic value.
