Researchers have evaluated a new biologically plausible pruning rule called noise-prune for recurrent neural networks. This unsupervised, local rule uses noisy fluctuations to determine connection importance. The study demonstrates that noise-prune effectively preserves task performance in networks trained for specific functions, outperforming magnitude-based pruning and matching non-local strategies. The findings validate noise-prune for functional recurrent architectures and identify optimal parameter settings, highlighting the importance of sampling and rescaling connections. AI
