Latent Equilibrium: A unified learning theory for arbitrarily fast computation with arbitrarily slow neurons

NeurIPS 2021oral

The response time of physical computational elements is finite, and neurons are no exception. In hierarchical models of cortical networks each layer thus introduces a response lag. This inherent property of physical dynamical systems results in delayed processing of stimuli and causes a timing misma…

Dendritic cortical microcircuits approximate the backpropagation algorithm

NeurIPS 2018oral

Deep learning has seen remarkable developments over the last years, many of them inspired by neuroscience. However, the main learning mechanism behind these advances – error backpropagation – appears to be at odds with neurobiology. Here, we introduce a multilayer neuronal network model with simplif…
