There is a large overlap, for instance, the popular VIME exploration algorithm [1] uses part of the free energy objective function. However, free energy isn't a theory of curiosity per se, its posed as description of self-organisation. It just so happens that you can express the free energy functional in terms of epistemic (curious) and instrumental (reward) components. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.09674

Brief summary: a nice intro about what generative models are and the current popular approaches/papers, followed by descriptions of recent work by OpenAI in the space. Quick links to papers mentioned: Improving GANs https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03498 Improving VAEs http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.04934 InfoGAN https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03657 Curiosity-driven Exploration in Deep Reinforcement Learning via Bayesian Neural Networks http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.09674 Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03476 I think the last one seems very exciting, I expect Imitation…
