Researchers have introduced a new method called highway error propagation (HEP) to address the challenge of training very deep predictive coding networks (PCNs). Traditional PCNs struggle with learning signals decaying rapidly in deep architectures, hindering their effectiveness beyond shallow networks. HEP modifies the PCN's structure with feedback matrices that directly couple hidden states to the output error, ensuring a consistent correction signal regardless of network depth. This approach successfully trains multi-layer perceptrons up to 128 layers on benchmarks like MNIST and Fashion-MNIST, demonstrating robust accuracy. AI
