• Abstract summary: We study the generative dynamics of Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) We show that the capacity to produce diverse data prototypes can be increased by initiating top-down sampling from chimera states. We also found that the model is not capable of transitioning between all possible digit states within a single generation trajectory.

• Abstract: Generative neural networks can produce data samples according to the statistical properties of their training distribution. This feature can be used to test modern computational neuroscience hypotheses suggesting that spontaneous brain activity is partially supported by top-down generative processing. A widely studied class of generative models is that of Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs), which can be used as building blocks for unsupervised deep learning architectures. In this work, we systematically explore the generative dynamics of RBMs, characterizing the number of states visited during top-down sampling and investigating whether the heterogeneity of visited attractors could be increased by starting the generation process from biased hidden states. By considering an RBM trained on a classic dataset of handwritten digits, we show that the capacity to produce diverse data prototypes can be increased by initiating top-down sampling from chimera states, which encode high-level visual features of multiple digits. We also found that the model is not capable of transitioning between all possible digit states within a single generation trajectory, suggesting that the top-down dynamics is heavily constrained by the shape of the energy function.

  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.
