arXiv:2608. 06963v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biologically plausible learning models aim to explain how neural circuits can implement effective learning under the constraints of real neurons.

arXiv:2606. 11123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Backpropagation (BP) is widely viewed as biologically implausible, in part because it requires feedback weights to be the transpose of forward weights for error propagation.

arXiv:2607. 09967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many neural networks operations have a multiplicative nature rather than additive: halving or doubling a norm are analogous relatively but require unequal optimization distances when taking linear steps.

arXiv:2608. 12010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Equivariant Neural Networks (ENNs) have empowered numerous applications in scientific fields.

arXiv:2606. 03927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.

arXiv:2606. 04754v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many striking phenomena in deep learning, such as linear mode connectivity and the structured behavior of training dynamics, are closely tied to parameter symmetries: transformations that leave the realized function unchanged.
