Understanding Scene Construction in Inference
The chapter explores the intricacies of scene construction as a hidden variable inference process, utilizing sparse sensory data to derive a unified latent cause. It discusses the role of context in driving inference, the computational challenges in contemplating diverse state spaces, and the dynamic nature of generative models fed by continuous observations. The conversation also delves into the importance of context, salience, and relevance in decision-making processes, the hierarchical nature of state space pruning, and the concept of optimizing free energy minimization related to intelligence.
