A new paper proposes that current AI models, primarily based on the Transformer architecture, are structurally limited. The authors argue that unlike the human brain, which features specialized structures for different cognitive functions, AI models use a "structural monoculture." They suggest that the Transformer is more analogous to the hippocampal formation than a general-purpose cortex, leading to inefficiencies when applied to tasks like audition or working memory. The paper advocates for a "Heterogeneous Topological Network" approach, where distinct modules with specific inductive biases are designed before training and communicate via standardized interfaces, drawing inspiration from neuroscience's understanding of brain structure.
