Metabolic cost of information processing in Poisson variational autoencoders
Metabolic cost of information processing in Poisson variational autoencoders arXiv:2602.13421v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computation in biological systems is fundamentally energy-constrained, yet standard theories of computation treat energy as freely available. Here, we argue that variational free energy minimization under a Poisson assumption offers a principled path toward an energy-aware theory of computation. Our key…

Structured Kernel Regression VAE: A Computationally Efficient Surrogate for GP-VAEs in ICA
Structured Kernel Regression VAE: A Computationally Efficient Surrogate for GP-VAEs in ICA arXiv:2508.09721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The interpretability of generative models is considered a key factor in demonstrating their effectiveness and controllability. The generated data are believed to be determined by latent variables that are not directly observable. Therefore, disentangling, decoupling, decomposing, causal inference,…
