MiS Preprint Repository
We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
An Information Theoretic Approach to Prediction and Deliberative Decision Making of Embodied Systems
Nihat Ay and Keyan ZahediAbstract
This article deals with the causal structure of an agent's sensori-motor loop. Of particular interest are causal effects that can be identified from an agent-centric perspective based on in situ observations. Within this identification, the world model of the agent plays a central role. The prediction quality of an optimal world model is closely related to the notion of predictive information. Its maximization leads to interesting behavioral patterns such as coordination. This is studied in a virtual robotics scenario.
