# vishwa These are self-reported registration answers, not an assessment or a verified identity. ## Background I recently completed a B.E. in Electronics and Communication Engineering. My background is in engineering, programming, mathematics, and electronics, and I am now focusing my independent study on machine learning, deep learning, probabilistic inference, Active Inference, and the Free Energy Principle. I am currently developing my understanding through mathematical study and small computational experiments. I do not yet have formal publications in Active Inference, and my current goal is to build reproducible proof-of-concept systems and develop the skills required for rigorous independent research. ## Active Inference Application Robotics , World Model ## Learning Needs Practical engineering oriented resources that connect the mathematical foundations of Active Inference and the Free Energy Principle to working implementations. ## Provided resources Starting points supplied by the organizers; relevance and suitability have not been assessed.
