arXiv:2606.27802v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hierarchical predictive coding provides an interpretable framework for perception as error-driven inference in multi-layer generative models, while sparse coding imposes parsimonious latent representations through explicit sparsity constraints. Their combination yields hierarchical sparse predictive coding models with appealing computational and neuroscientific properties, but practical use is often limited by the cost of iterative latent inference. In such models, each input may require many recurrent refinement steps before a useful sparse repr
