FFR: Forward-Forward Learning for Regression

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

The Forward-Forward (FF) algorithm offers a computationally efficient and biologically plausible alternative to backpropagation (BP) by training neural networks through purely local, layer-wise optimization. However, FF is inherently designed for classification via contrastive positive-negative sample pairs, and extending it to regression poses fundamental challenges: continuous target space lack natural "opposites" for contrastive learning, and the standard goodness function carries no information about target magnitude or ordering.

Emergent Hierarchical Monosemantic Neurons from the Group-Contrastive Forward-Forward Algorithm

arXiv:2607. 16295v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability has made significant strides in understanding neural network representations, with sparse dictionary learning (SDL) methods, most prominently sparse autoencoders, as a central paradigm.
