  Overview

This paper presents a prescriptive theory for brain-like inference, drawing insights from neuroscience and machine learning.
It explores the connections between the evidence lower bound (ELBO) in variational inference and entropy in the brain's information processing.
The key contributions include a new objective function and an algorithm f...
