Abstract:Standard models of biologically realistic, or inspired, reinforcement learning employ a global error signal which implies shallow networks. However, deep networks could offer a drastically superior performance by feeding the error signal backwards through such a network which in turn is not biologically realistic as it requires symmetric weights between top-down and bottom-up pathways. Instead, we present a network combining local learning with global modulation where neuromodulation controls the amount of pla… Show more
