Adaptation Accelerating Sampling-based Bayesian Inference in Attractor Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2022accept

The brain performs probabilistic Bayesian inference to interpret the external world. The sampling-based view assumes that the brain represents the stimulus posterior distribution via samples of stochastic neuronal responses. Although the idea of sampling-based inference is appealing, it faces a crit…

Noisy Adaptation Generates Lévy Flights in Attractor Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2021poster

Lévy flights describe a special class of random walks whose step sizes satisfy a power-law tailed distribution. As being an efficient searching strategy in unknown environments, Lévy flights are widely observed in animal foraging behaviors. Recent studies further showed that human cognitive function…
