• Abstract: This paper presents a new learning algorithm, termed Deep Bi-directional Predictive Coding (DBPC) that allows developing networks to simultaneously perform classification and reconstruction tasks using the same weights. Predictive Coding (PC) has emerged as a prominent theory underlying information processing in the brain. The general concept for learning in PC is that each layer learns to predict the activities of neurons in the previous layer which enables local computation of error and in-parallel learning across layers. In this paper, we extend existing PC approaches by developing a network which supports both feedforward and feedback propagation of information. Each layer in the networks trained using DBPC learn to predict the activities of neurons in the previous and next layer which allows the network to simultaneously perform classification and reconstruction tasks using feedforward and feedback propagation, respectively. DBPC also relies on locally available information for learning, thus enabling in-parallel learning across all layers in the network. The proposed approach has been developed for training both, fully connected networks and convolutional neural networks. The performance of DBPC has been evaluated on both, classification and reconstruction tasks using the MNIST and FashionMNIST datasets. The classification and the reconstruction performance of networks trained using DBPC is similar to other approaches used for comparison but DBPC uses a significantly smaller network. Further, the significant benefit of DBPC is its ability to achieve this performance using locally available information and in-parallel learning mechanisms which results in an efficient training protocol. This results clearly indicate that DBPC is a much more efficient approach for developing networks that can simultaneously perform both classification and reconstruction.

In this work, we prove that dynamically adapting network architectures tailored for each domain task along with weight finetuning benefits in both efficiency and effectiveness. Our method can be easily generalized to an unsupervised paradigm by replacing supernet training with self-supervised learning in the source domain tasks and performing linear evaluation in the downstream tasks.
