Last call for papers for the *3rd International Workshop on Active Inference IWAI2022*, in conjunction with the European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML/PKDD 2022) that will be held in September 2022 in Grenoble, France.
*CALL FOR PAPERS* The 3rd International Workshop on Active Inference wants to bring together researchers on active inference as well as related research fields in order to discuss current trends, novel results and real-world applications. We have an interest in exploring the extent to which active inference can be used in modern machine learning settings, such as in hybrid setups combining it with deep learning, as well as to unify the latest psychological and neurological insights, and to determine how it can best be used to understand action, optimization and decision making. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings.
