New conservation law found for equilibrium propagation and coupled learning

Researchers have identified a conservation law within the physical learning methods of coupled learning (CL) and equilibrium propagation (EP). This law demonstrates that a quantity akin to mass is conserved within the trainable parameters in a continuous-time, small-nudging limit. The findings suggest this conservation law can reliably constrain training dynamics, particularly in linear circuits, and has practical implications for machine learning. AI

    A Conservation Law for Equilibrium Propagation and Coupled Learning

    arXiv:2606.15444v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper we show that the physical learning methods known as coupled learning (CL) and equilibrium propagation (EP) conserve a mass-like quantity in the trainable parameters in the continuous-time, small-nudging limit. We pro…
