arXiv:2601. 04539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recurrent neural networks (RNNs) used to model biological neural networks, noise is typically introduced during training to emulate biological variability and regularize learning.

Neural Variability Enhances Artificial Network Robustness

arXiv:2606. 13801v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural responses in cortex exhibit substantial trial-to-trial variability in response to repeated stimuli, while peripheral sensory neurons respond far more consistently, leading many to wonder whether stochasticity may carry meaning.

Drift-Diffusion Matching: Embedding dynamics in latent manifolds of asymmetric neural networks

arXiv:2602. 14885v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) provide a theoretical framework for understanding computation in biological neural circuits, yet classical results, such as Hopfield's model of associative memory, rely on symmetric connectivity that restricts network dynamics to gradient-like flows.

Effective pruning of task-trained recurrent neural networks using noisy fluctuations and connection rescaling

The pruning of network connections is key to brain function but, despite its importance, there exist few biologically-plausible pruning rules with demonstrated good performance. In this work we evaluate noise-prune, a recently introduced unsupervised local pruning rule for recurrent networks that uses noisy fluctuations to determine the importance of connections.
