• Abstract: Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have progressed in tandem, each contributing to our understanding of the brain, and inspiring recent developments in biologically-plausible neural networks (NNs) and learning rules. Predictive coding (PC), and its learning rule, have been shown to approximate error backpropagation in a biologically relevant manner, with local weight updates that depend only on the activity of the pre- and post-synaptic neurons. Unlike traditional feedforward NNs where the flow of information goes in one direction, PC models mimic the brain more accurately by passing information bidirectionally: prediction in one direction, and correction/error in the other. PC models learn by clamping some neurons to target values and running the network to equilibrium. At equilibrium, the network calculates its own error gradients right at the location where they are used for weight updates. Traditional backprop requires the computation graph to be feedforward. However, the PC version of backprop does not have this requirement. Amazingly, no one has demonstrated the application of PC learning directly to recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Hopfield networks (HNs) are RNNs that implement a content-addressable memory, learning patterns (or ``memories'') that can be retrieved from partial or corrupted patterns. In this paper, we show that a HN can be trained using the PC learning rules without modification. To our knowledge, this is the first time PC learning has been applied directly to train a RNN, without the need to unroll it in time. Our results indicate that the PC-trained HNs behave like classical HNs.

  Predictive coding networks (PCNs) are based on the neuroscientific framework of predictive coding. Unlike traditional neural networks trained with backpropagation (BP), PCNs utilize inference learning (IL), a more biologically plausible algorithm. As inherently probabilistic (graphical) latent variable models, PCNs provide a versatile framework for both supervised learning and unsupervised (generative) modeling.

  We develop the first (to the best of our knowledge) provably correct neural networks for a precise computational task. We show that for modest problem dimensions (up to 50), we can train neural networks that provably recover a sparse vector from linear and binarized linear measurements. We show that the complexity of the network can be adapted to the problem difficulty and solve problems where traditional compressed sensing methods are not known to provably work.

  neural network predictions tend to be unpredictable and overconfident when faced with out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. We observe that neural network predictions often tend towards a constant value as input data becomes increasingly OOD. We show how one can leverage our insights in practice to enable risk-sensitive decision-making in the presence of OOD inputs.

  Nervous systems learn online where a stream of noisy data points are presented in a non-independent, identically distributed (non-i.i.d.) way. Deep networks, on the other hand, typically use non-local learning algorithms and are trained in an offline, non-noisy, i.i.d. setting. We implement this kind of model in a novel neural network called the Sparse Quantized Hopfield Network (SQHN)
