Purin: A Biology-inspired Mechanism for Artificial Neural Networks
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.31235v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) usually represent neural transmission with fixed trainable weights during a training batch, which omits short-term changes in synaptic efficacy. In addition, the discrete time-step simulation requires additional temporal processing that many conventional ANN architectures do not use. To overcome these challenges, we propose Purin, a biology-inspired and ANN-compatible mechanism, that introduces synaptic efficacy modulation into conventional convolutional neural networks. Purin uses a time-interval-based abstracti
