Learning distant cause and effect using only local and immediate credit assignment

We’ve uploaded a new paper to arXiv presenting our algorithm for biologically-plausible learning of distant cause & effect using only local and immediate credit assignment. This is a big step for us – it ticks almost all our requirements for a general purpose representation. The training regime is unsupervised &… Read More »Learning distant cause and effect using only local and immediate credit assignment

Understanding Equivariance

We are exploring the nature of equivariance, a concept that is now closely associated with the capsules network architecture (see key papers Sabour et al, and Hinton et al). Machine learning representations that capture equivariance must learn the way that patterns in the input vary together, in addition to statistical clusters in… Read More »Understanding Equivariance
