Knowledge Engineering
This project seeks to alleviate the information burden in the Active Inference Institute & Ecosystem through information curation, organization, and condensation- i.e. providing summaries of institute productions (courses, livestreams, etc), enhancing the CRM, etc
Yes. Anyone curious or knowledgeable about knowledge engineering & automations- people can attend the weekly meetings or reach out to me to schedule a better time for synchronous work

Active Blockference
We are applying Active Inference by building capacities & creating examples of generative models.
Yes. Everyone interested in working with Active Inference, of any level of familiarity with the formalism/application, is welcome to join.
Daniel Friedman
RxInfer.jl learning and development group
Learn and apply RxInfer.jl in 2024 — building out multiscale selves and capacities for generative modeling.
Yes. Everyone interested in working with Active Inference, Julia, and RxInfer.jl is welcome.

Active Inference Account of Belief Updating in PTSD
Write a theoretical paper in the style of Parr et al. chapter 6
Yes for those with interest in social science, and those that research ActInf and psychopathology.
As needed.
Jeremy Cooper
To model human translation processes through an Active Inference Agent
Yes, individuals interested in translation, AIF, cognitive modelling
Weekly zoom meetings
Symbolic cognitive robotics
Explore the joint problem space of “symbolic active inference”, “societies of mind” and “mortal computing”, with an emphasis on unsupervised learning.
Yes, including Prolog and Elixir programmers and anyone with an interest in symbolic machine learning or applied epistemology.
Jean-François Cloutier
Humanity’s Story of an Uncertain Self
Producing an academic paper or blog that contains a set of equations, computer simulations, and ultimately a framework that explains the core components of humanity’s sociological-narrative framework. Specifically, breaking down a few pieces of say, ancient epics, along with an set of economic and civic institutions, would allow us to model to simulate, predict, and give mastery over the otherwise seemingly intractable world of humanity’s cultural niche.
Yes, especially with interests in: statistical programing (R/Python/etc.), psychology, sociology humanities (English, Religion, Classical, etc.), Mathematics, Economics
