• Abstract: Powered by advanced information technology, more and more complex systems are exhibiting characteristics of the Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS). Understanding the mechanism of CPSS is essential to our ability to control their actions, reap their benefits and minimize their harms. In consideration of the cost, legal and institutional constraints on the study of CPSS in real world, computational experiments have emerged as a new method for quantitative analysis of CPSS. This paper outlines computational experiments from several key aspects, including origin, characteristics, methodological framework, key technologies, and some typical applications. Finally, this paper highlights some challenges of computational experiments to provide a roadmap for its rapid development and widespread application.

  Spiking neural networks have become an important family of neuron-based models that sidestep many of the key limitations facing modern-day backpropagation-trained deep networks. In this work, we design and investigate a proof-of-concept instantiation of contrastive-signal-dependent plasticity (CSDP), a neuromorphic form of forward-forward-based, backpropagation-free learning.

A unique capability of the proposed methodology is its ability to be applied to multiple tasks, for example optimization of a function, once its trained.
