Improving the Minimum Free Energy Principle to the Maximum Information Efficiency Principle by Chenguang Lu

“…The G theory is based on the P-T probability framework and, therefore, allows for the use of truth, membership, similarity, and distortion functions (related to semantics) as constraints. Based on the study of the <i>R</i>(<i>G</i>) function and logical Bayesian Inference, this paper proposes the Semantic Variational Bayesian (SVB) and the Maximum Information Efficiency (MIE) principle. …”
