Sophisticated Affective Inference: Simulating Anticipatory Affective Dynamics of Imagining Future Events

all right i think we are live hello everyone and welcome to the active inference live stream this is active inference live stream 11 it is december 16 2020 and there's a lot to get to today so thanks for tuning in welcome to the active inference lab everyone we are an experiment in online team communication learning and practice related to active inference you can find us at our website activeinference.org on twitter as inference active at our gmail account our youtube channel or our public key based team and username this is a recorded and an archived live stream so please provide us feedback so we can improve our work whether during the live stream or after all backgrounds and perspectives are welcome here and as far as video etiquette for live streaming goes mute if there's noise in your background we'll always remember to use respectful speech behavior etc so thanks everyone just a few announcements and points of process there are two more meetings for 2020 and they will both be from 7 30 to 9 00 a.m pst and both of these meetings are going to be about the paper's sophisticated affective inference simulating anticipatory affective dynamics of imagining future events a 2020 paper from the iy conference and that's what this 11.0 is going to be primarily about so if you're listening to this at the end of 2020 then uh we would love to have you at either 11.1 on december 22nd or 11.2 on december 29th and also we are very happy to now announce for 2021 that's right that is going to be the year 2021. um we have announced our whole year's schedule so it's gonna be tuesdays from seven to nine am pst and all the instructions everything you need to know is at this link rb.gy kvn pyc and just to show you what that link looks like it is a spreadsheet and on the top is information about how to participate in the discussion so fill out this form if you want to participate email us with what dates you want to attend and then we will add you to the discussions event that day and then if you want to collaborate check out this link which i'll get to in a second and just looking at a few of these papers that we have up until the middle of april for every single paper we've been really lucky enough and have an awesome community of authors who want to join on so we'll have an author representative of every single paper up through the middle of april and beyond and we'll have most weeks we'll have an author on so we're going to get a lot of opportunities to hear from the authors about what they were trying to do with their papers i'm just really excited to hear from all these different perspectives and then of course by bringing on people who are learning active inference or who are from any different field of expertise or experience we're going to be able to try out some new combinations that maybe haven't been tried speaking of the active inference lab beyond the live stream if you go to activeinference.org you'll see a call for collaboration for 2021 and this aweber slash t slash ausm3 link you'll be able to fill out a form of interest and just let us know if you might be interested in collaborating for 2021 because we have three main projects that we're really excited to be working on the first has to do with an active inference book of knowledge which is going to be like a participatory and an open and a very interesting designed textbook reference and uh source of online course material that'll be project one that's very um educational driven project two is gonna be the live stream and some other associated content types that we'll get to in 2021 and then project three is going to be tools for remote teams so this is going to be related to the frameworks for analysis that we laid out in our september 9th paper um viatkin at all and um we're going to be working on how we can do analysis and design for remote teams so that will be quite exciting all right thanks for all of that sorry about the relatively long introduction here we are in…
