Calibrating generative models: The probabilistic Chomsky–Schützenberger hierarchy

TF Icard - Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2020 - Elsevier
A probabilistic Chomsky–Schützenberger hierarchy of grammars is introduced and studied,
with the aim of understanding the expressive power of generative models. We offer …

Law without law: from observer states to physics via algorithmic information theory

MP Mueller - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
According to our current conception of physics, any valid physical theory is supposed to
describe the objective evolution of a unique external world. However, this condition is …

A dilemma for solomonoff prediction

S Neth - Philosophy of Science, 2023 - cambridge.org
The framework of Solomonoff prediction assigns prior probability to hypotheses inversely
proportional to their Kolmogorov complexity. There are two well-known problems. First, the …

Solomonoff prediction and Occam's razor

TF Sterkenburg - Philosophy of Science, 2016 - cambridge.org
Algorithmic information theory gives an idealized notion of compressibility that is often
presented as an objective measure of simplicity. It is suggested at times that Solomonoff …

[PDF][PDF] Beyond Almost-Sure Termination.

T Icard - CogSci, 2017 - stanford.edu
The aim of this paper is to argue that models in cognitive science based on probabilistic
computation should not be restricted to those procedures that almost surely (with probability …

On the computability of Solomonoff induction and knowledge-seeking

J Leike, M Hutter - … Learning Theory: 26th International Conference, ALT …, 2015 - Springer
Solomonoff induction is held as a gold standard for learning, but it is known to be
incomputable. We quantify its incomputability by placing various flavors of Solomonoff's prior …

[HTML][HTML] On the computability of Solomonoff induction and AIXI

J Leike, M Hutter - Theoretical Computer Science, 2018 - Elsevier
How could we solve the machine learning and the artificial intelligence problem if we had
infinite computation? Solomonoff induction and the reinforcement learning agent AIXI are …

[HTML][HTML] On Martin-Löf (non-) convergence of Solomonoff's universal mixture

T Lattimore, M Hutter - Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 - Elsevier
We study the convergence of Solomonoff's universal mixture on individual Martin-Löf
random sequences. A new result is presented extending the work of Hutter and Muchnik [3] …
