• Abstract: This article presents an artificial intelligence (AI) architecture intended to simulate the human working memory system as well as the manner in which it is updated iteratively. It features several interconnected neural networks designed to emulate the specialized modules of the cerebral cortex. These are structured hierarchically and integrated into a global workspace. They are capable of temporarily maintaining high-level patterns akin to the psychological items maintained in working memory. This maintenance is made possible by persistent neural activity in the form of two modalities: sustained neural firing (resulting in a focus of attention) and synaptic potentiation (resulting in a short-term store). This persistent activity is updated iteratively resulting in incremental changes to the content of the working memory system. As the content stored in working memory gradually evolves, successive states overlap and are continuous with one another. The present article will explore how this architecture can lead to gradual shift in the distribution of coactive representations, ultimately leading to mental continuity between processing states, and thus to human-like cognition.

  Current AIGC methods, such as score-based diffusion, are still deficient in terms of rapidity and efficiency. We propose a time-continuous and analog in-memory neural differential equation solver for score-based diffusion. We experimentally validate our solution with 180 nm resistive memory in-memory computing macros.

  We develop a neuro-mimetic architecture, composed of spiking neuronal units, where individual layers of neurons operate in parallel. We propose an event-based generalization of forward-forward learning, which we call contrastive-signal-dependent plasticity (CSDP) Our experimental results on several pattern datasets demonstrate that the CSDP process works well for training a dynamic recurrent spiking network capable of both classification and reconstruction.

  A lifelong learning agent is able to continually learn from potentially infinite streams of pattern sensory data. One major historic difficulty in building agents that adapt is that neural systems struggle to retain previously-acquired knowledge when learning from new samples. This problem is known as catastrophic forgetting (interference) and remains an unsolved problem in the domain of machine learning to this day.
