DR. JEFF BECK - THE BAYESIAN BRAIN
Oct 16, 2023
Dr. Jeff Beck, a computational neuroscientist, discusses Bayesian modeling in empirical inquiry, active inference, and the integration of internalist and externalist cognition. They also explore the challenges of using a Bayesian approach in multi-agent systems, the relationship between data cardinality and representation, and the idea of creating specialized agents. Additionally, they touch on representation learning in neural networks and the development of fully Bayesian and generative transformers.
