ELiSe: Efficient Learning of Sequences in Structured Recurrent Networks
Quick summary
arXiv:2402.16763v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Behavior can be described as a temporal sequence of actions driven by neural activity. To learn complex sequential patterns in neural networks, memories of past activities need to persist on significantly longer timescales than the relaxation times of single-neuron activity. While recurrent networks can produce such long transients, training these networks is a challenge. Learning via error propagation confers models such as FORCE, RTRL or BPTT a significant functional advantage, but at the expense of biological plausibility. While rese
