Teaching signal synchronization in deep neural networks with prospective neurons

Nicolas Zucchet, Qianqian Feng, Axel Laborieux +3

Working memory requires the brain to maintain information from the recent past to guide ongoing behavior. Neurons can contribute to this capacity by slowly integrating their inputs…

Implicit variance regularization in non-contrastive SSL

Manu Srinath Halvagal, Axel Laborieux, Friedemann Zenke

Non-contrastive SSL methods like BYOL and SimSiam rely on asymmetric predictor networks to avoid representational collapse without negative samples. Yet, how predictor networks fac…
