Biologically-plausible backpropagation through arbitrary timespans via local neuromodulators

1 code implementation2 Jun 2022 Yuhan Helena Liu, Stephen Smith, Stefan Mihalas, Eric Shea-Brown, Uygar Sümbül

Finally, we derive an in-silico implementation of ModProp that could serve as a low-complexity and causal alternative to backpropagation through time.

Convolutional neural networks with extra-classical receptive fields

no code implementations NeurIPS Workshop Neuro_AI 2019 Brian Hu, Stefan Mihalas

To address these issues, we combine traditional supervised learning via backpropagation with a specialized unsupervised learning rule to learn lateral connections between neurons within a convolutional neural network.

High resolution neural connectivity from incomplete tracing data using nonnegative spline regression

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2016 Kameron Decker Harris, Stefan Mihalas, Eric Shea-Brown

We demonstrate the efficacy of a low rank version on visual cortex data and discuss the possibility of extending this to a whole-brain connectivity matrix at the voxel scale.

How connectivity structure shapes rich and lazy learning in neural circuits

no code implementations12 Oct 2023 Yuhan Helena Liu, Aristide Baratin, Jonathan Cornford, Stefan Mihalas, Eric Shea-Brown, Guillaume Lajoie

Through both empirical and theoretical analyses, we discover that high-rank initializations typically yield smaller network changes indicative of lazier learning, a finding we also confirm with experimentally-driven initial connectivity in recurrent neural networks.
