REVIEW Communicated by Dana Ballard Predictive Coding, Variational Autoencoders, and Biological Connections Joseph Marino* josephmarino@deepmind.com Computation and Neural Systems, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, U.S.A. We present a review of predictive coding, from theoretical neuroscience, and variational autoencoders, from machine learning, identifying the common origin and mathematical framework underlying both areas. As each area is prominent within its respective field, more firmly connect-
