cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- In active inference, the distribution over goal states; here replaced by the learned self-prior rather than a hand-specified prior
- The distribution of latent representations produced by the model under unperturbed inputs
- Used as the observation encoder/decoder for compressing visual and proprioceptive inputs into discrete latent states
- Conjugate prior for categorical variables; used for beliefs about likelihood matrix A.
- Fundamental mathematical tool; poset-as-category provides simple instances of categorical notions like products and adjunctions.
- A prompt framing requesting a representative sample from a distribution rather than a single instance, which is the key insight behind VS
- Measure of expected sensory input, core to linking value and surprise.
- Ability to apply learned solutions to novel circumstances.
