- Abstract: To date, formal models of collective intelligence have lacked a plausible
mathematical description of the relationship between local-scale interactions
between highly autonomous sub-system components (individuals) and global-scale
behavior of the composite system (the collective). In this paper we use the
Active Inference Formulation (AIF), a framework for explaining the behavior of
any non-equilibrium steady state system at any scale, to posit a minimal
agent-based model that simulates the relationship between local
individual-level interaction and collective intelligence (operationalized as
system-level performance). We explore the effects of providing baseline AIF
agents (Model 1) with specific cognitive capabilities: Theory of Mind (Model
2); Goal Alignment (Model 3), and Theory of Mind with Goal Alignment (Model 4).
These stepwise transitions in sophistication of cognitive ability are motivated
by the types of advancements plausibly required for an AIF agent to persist and
flourish in an environment populated by other AIF agents, and have also
recently been shown to map naturally to canonical steps in human cognitive
ability. Illustrative results show that stepwise cognitive transitions increase
system performance by providing complementary mechanisms for alignment between
agents' local and global optima. Alignment emerges endogenously from the
dynamics of interacting AIF agents themselves, rather than being imposed
exogenously by incentives to agents' behaviors (contra existing computational
models of collective intelligence) or top-down priors for collective behavior
(contra existing multiscale simulations of AIF). These results shed light on
the types of generic information-theoretic patterns conducive to collective
intelligence in human and other complex adaptive systems.

We introduce a novel neural systems model that integrates attractor dynamics with symbolic representations to model cognitive processes akin to the probabilistic language of thought (PLoT)
Our model segments the continuous representational space into discrete basins, with attractor states corresponding to symbolic sequences, that reflect the semanticity and compositionality characteristic of symbolic systems through unsupervised learning, rather than relying on pre-defined primitives.
This approach establishes a unified framework that integrates both symbolic and sub-symbolic processing through neural dynamics, a neuroplausible substrate with proven expressivity in AI, offering a more comprehensive model that mirrors the complex duality of cognitive operations

Multi-agent imitation learning aims to train multiple agents to perform tasks from demonstrations by learning a mapping between observations and actions.
In this paper, we propose to use copula, a powerful statistical tool for capturing dependence among random variables, to explicitly model the correlation and coordination in multi-agent systems.
Our proposed model is able to separately learn marginals that capture the local behavioral patterns of each individual agent, as well as a copula function that solely and fully captures the dependence structure among agents.

Many dynamic processes are involved with interacting variables, from physical systems to sociological analysis.
Our goal is to represent a system with a part-whole hierarchy and discover the implied dependencies among intra-system variables.
The proposed architecture consists of (i) a perceptive module that extracts a hierarchical and temporally consistent representation of the observation at multiple levels, (ii) a deductive module for determining the relational connection between neurons at each level, and (iii) a statistical module that can predict the future by conditioning on the temporal distributional estimation.
