Expected Free Energy-based Planning as Variational Inference
Researchers demonstrate that Expected Free Energy (EFE)-based planning in artificial intelligence can be reformulated as Variational Free Energy minimization, unifying planning with perception and learning under the Free Energy Principle. The approach successfully scales active inference to complex environments while improving performance on stochastic problems compared to existing tabular methods.
