Second content post in a planned cluster on exact results for natural latents. See the introduction and the previous post. In this post, I share some key theoretical results that this framing generates. This post has more math in it than the last one, most of which I've banished to...
Short introductory post for my research direction: Gaussian Natural Latents. I explain the motivation and give a preview of the forthcoming results. Post #1, #2. The Natural Abstractions agenda, in my view, is a promising research program that asks important theoretical questions about the nature of agency and optimization. Here's...
Read the introduction for the motivation. This is the first content post in a planned cluster on exact results for natural latents. Here, I connect some established results in classical information theory to natural latents. Suppose Alice observes and Bob observes , and the two variables are correlated. We'd like...
