Conor Heins

Conor Heins, Senior ML Research Engineer, discusses collective behavior in complex systems, including emergence, social priors, and top-down causality. They explore mesmerizing biological phenomena like schools of fish and Starling Flocks, evolutionary pressures in the free energy principle, state-based vs path-based active inference, scene construction in inference, belief-free model selection, and the guest's learning journey in mathematics and physics.
