Surfing: Iterative optimization over incrementally trained deep networks

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2019 Ganlin Song, Zhou Fan, John Lafferty

When initialized with random parameters $\theta_0$, we show that the objective $f_{\theta_0}(x)$ is "nice'' and easy to optimize with gradient descent.

Convergence and Alignment of Gradient Descent with Random Backpropagation Weights

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Ganlin Song, Ruitu Xu, John Lafferty

In this paper we study the mathematical properties of the feedback alignment procedure by analyzing convergence and alignment for two-layer networks under squared error loss.

Emergent organization of receptive fields in networks of excitatory and inhibitory neurons

no code implementations26 May 2022 Leon Lufkin, Ashish Puri, Ganlin Song, Xinyi Zhong, John Lafferty

Local patterns of excitation and inhibition that can generate neural waves are studied as a computational mechanism underlying the organization of neuronal tunings.
