arXiv:2607. 11958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Under the free energy principle, a predictive system does not observe reality directly; it maintains a generative model of the world and experiences that model's best current hypothesis.
arXiv:2503. 21796v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning has become an increasingly important paradigm in the domain of machine intelligence.
arXiv:2608. 12398v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose IM-LEPP (Integrated Multimodal Latent Energy-based Predictive Processing), a hierarchical, energy-based model of multimodal cognition that extends a previously proposed single-modality model (LEPP) to integrate vision and language.
arXiv:2507. 01414v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce a new family of toy problems that combine features of linear-regression-style continuous in-context learning (ICL) with discrete associative recall.
arXiv:2606. 31495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a single idea across two settings: that a prediction-error signal, computed by a small predictor over the latent space of a frozen encoder, can serve both as a gate on plasticity and as a substrate for metacognition.
arXiv:2607. 21433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chain-of-thought reasoning models such as DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B exhibit a bimodal convergence pattern: generations either terminate within a token budget (converged) or exhaust it without reaching a conclusion (non-converged).
arXiv:2608. 11506v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive behavior under partial observability depends on internal organization that carries information beyond the current observation.
arXiv:2606. 30191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How does an agent that can tell self from world come to be durably shaped by that distinction?
arXiv:2607. 04333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grokking -- generalization arriving long after training-set interpolation -- can be accelerated by structure-agnostic interventions: gradient filtering, weight-norm clamping, geometric penalties on hidden representations.
arXiv:2607. 12823v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interaction with AI agents has become one of the most frequent activities of everyday digital life.
arXiv:2606. 01520v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A single action-conditioned latent predictive architecture can in principle be trained on the structured state of a driving scene, a robot workspace, or a financial order book.
arXiv:2510. 16657v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthetic data has been increasingly used to train frontier generative models.
arXiv:2607. 12382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How can an agent build a structured map of its world from nothing but an ongoing sequence of raw sensory input and its own movements, especially when natural variation means exact sensory patterns rarely repeat?
