Mechanistic interpretability of vision transformers seeks to decompose model computation into human-readable units, but learned representations entangle many concepts in each neuron. Feature superposi...
The paper investigates how multi‑neuromodulatory dynamics—driven by dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, and noradrenaline—can improve artificial neural networks’ continuous adaptive learning and mitigate catastrophic forgetting. It demonstrates that neuromodulators interact across multiple spatial and temporal scales, creating a complex many‑to‑many mapping between neuromodulators and tasks. The authors propose neuromodulation‑aware learning rules, architectural formulations, and a conceptual Go/No‑Go study to illustrate how biologically inspired mechanisms can enhance ANN robustness and adaptability.

arXiv:2607. 03671v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Models of complex systems often have many parameters, yet are constrained by far fewer experimentally accessible observables: similar activity can emerge from coordinated parameter changes.
