Stabilized Supralinear Networks Learn to Switch Coding Strategies Balancing Cost and Performance

Haoyu Wang, Wei Dai, Jialun Ma, Jiawei Zhang, Jinqi Liu, Mingchen Jiang +5

ICML 2026poster

Lateral connections (LCs) are ubiquitous in the cortical circuits. While modern deep learning architectures have rich intralayer interactions (e.g., convolutional mixing, normalization, or attention) to support feature selectivity and contextual modulation, explicit excitatory and inhibitory (E-I) L…

The Dual Nature of Plasticity Loss in Deep Continual Learning: Dissection and Mitigation

Haoyu Wang, Wei P Dai, Jiawei Zhang, Jialun Ma, Mingyi Huang, Yuguo Yu

NeurIPS 2025poster

Loss of plasticity (LoP) is the primary cause of cognitive decline in normal aging brains next to cell loss. Recent works show that similar LoP also plagues neural networks during deep continual learning (DCL). While it has been shown that random perturbations of learned weights can alleviate LoP,…
