Score Broadcast and Decorrelation: A General Framework for Broadcast-Based Credit Assignment

Mustafa Uzun, Mete Erdogan, Cengiz Pehlevan +1

We introduce Score Broadcast and Decorrelation (SBD), a principled framework for broadcast-based credit assignment for general families of differentiable losses. Error broadcast is…

Demystifying LLM-as-a-Judge: Analytically Tractable Model for Inference-Time Scaling

Indranil Halder, Cengiz Pehlevan

Recent developments in large language models have shown advantages in reallocating a notable share of computational resource from training time to inference time. However, the prin…

Error Broadcast and Decorrelation as a Potential Artificial and Natural Learning Mechanism

Mete Erdogan, Cengiz Pehlevan, Alper T. Erdogan

We introduce Error Broadcast and Decorrelation (EBD), a novel learning framework for neural networks that addresses credit assignment by directly broadcasting output errors to indi…

Pixel-Based Similarities as an Alternative to Neural Data for Improving Convolutional Neural Network Adversarial Robustness

Elie Attias, Cengiz Pehlevan, Dina Obeid

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) excel in many visual tasks but remain susceptible to adversarial attacks-imperceptible perturbations that degrade performance. Prior research r…

Attention Approximates Sparse Distributed Memory

Trenton Bricken, Cengiz Pehlevan

While Attention has come to be an important mechanism in deep learning, there remains limited intuition for why it works so well. Here, we show that Transformer Attention can be cl…

Associative Memory in Iterated Overparameterized Sigmoid Autoencoders

Yibo Jiang, Cengiz Pehlevan

Recent work showed that overparameterized autoencoders can be trained to implement associative memory via iterative maps, when the trained input-output Jacobian of the network has…
