New method automatically discovers symbolic local learning rules for deep learning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel method for automatically discovering symbolic local learning rules that could potentially replace backpropagation in deep learning architectures. This technique involves creating a dictionary of tensor variables and then regressing coefficients to form layer-specific polynomial losses. When tested on various tasks with small networks, the method demonstrated significant reductions in global losses and produced more interpretable local rules compared to existing alternatives. AI

IMPACT Could lead to more energy-efficient deep learning and biologically plausible learning mechanisms.

    A method to automatically discover symbolic local learning rules

    We present a general method for discovering symbolic local learning rules that can replace backpropagation, applicable, in principle, to any deep learning architecture and task. The method automatically discovers local loss functions specific to each layer by (1) constructing a d…
