New inference schedule boosts predictive coding network accuracy on CIFAR-10

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have proposed a new method for optimizing hidden-state order in predictive coding networks (PCNs) to improve feature learning. This boundary-first inference schedule partitions models into chunks, coordinating hidden states at boundaries before refining them within chunks. When applied to PCNs, this approach significantly boosted accuracy on the CIFAR-10 dataset, showing improvements of 9.77% with standard parametrization and 5.51% with μ-parametrization. The study suggests this chunk-based inference is a valuable design principle for PCN training and potentially other local-learning systems. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more effective training methods for local-learning systems, potentially improving performance on various machine learning tasks.

    Local learning methods offer an alternative to end-to-end backpropagation, but their unstructured local objectives can produce weak feature learning in deep networks. We study whether the order of hidden-state optimization can address this limitation. We propose a boundary-first …
