Variational inference and dissipative adaptation

I gave a keynote at this year’s complex systems society meeting in the Physics of Self-Organization in Complex Systems session. The abstract can be found at the previous link or here (link to file). Many thanks go to Georgi Georgiev for the invitation.

The content was very similar to previous talks at Stony Brook’s Laufer Centre and the University of Vienna and followed the discussion in the paper arXiv:2406.11630 very closely. There will be a proceedings volume with more details published shortly.
