A meta-learning approach to (re)discover plasticity rules that carve a desired function into a neural network

NeurIPS 2020spotlight

The search for biologically faithful synaptic plasticity rules has resulted in a large body of models. They are usually inspired by -- and fitted to -- experimental data, but they rarely produce neural dynamics that serve complex functions. These failures suggest that current plasticity models are s…

Cortical microcircuits as gated-recurrent neural networks

NeurIPS 2017poster

Cortical circuits exhibit intricate recurrent architectures that are remarkably similar across different brain areas. Such stereotyped structure suggests the existence of common computational principles. However, such principles have remained largely elusive. Inspired by gated-memory networks, namel…
