Predictive Coding as a Neuromorphic Alternative to Backpropagation: A Critical Evaluation
Umais Zahid, Qinghai Guo, Zafeirios Fountas
Backpropagation has rapidly become the workhorse credit assignment algorithm for modern deep learning methods. Recently, modified forms of predictive coding (PC), an algorithm with…
