    brain sciences Review Multiscale Computation and Dynamic Attention in Biological and Artificial Intelligence Ryan Paul Badman 1,* , Thomas Trenholm Hills 2 and Rei Akaishi 1,* 1 Center for Brain Science, RIKEN, Saitama 351-0198, Japan 2 Department of Psychology, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.P.B.); [email protected] (R.A.) Received: 4 March 2020; Accepted: 17 June 2020; Published: 20 June 2020 Abstract: Biological and artificial intelligence (AI) are often defined by their capacity to achieve a hierarchy of short-term and long-term goals that require incorporating information over time and space at both local and global scales. More advanced forms of this capacity involve the adaptive modulation of integration across scales, which resolve computational inefficiency and explore-exploit dilemmas at the same time. Research in neuroscience and AI have both made progress towards understanding architectures that achieve this. Insight into biological computations come from phenomena such as decision inertia, habit formation, information search, risky choices and foraging. Across these domains, the brain is equipped with mechanisms (such as the dorsal anterior cingulate and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) that can represent and modulate across scales, both with top-down control processes and by local to global consolidation as information progresses from sensory to prefrontal areas. Paralleling these biological architectures, progress in AI is marked by innovations in dynamic multiscale modulation, moving from recurrent and convolutional neural networks—with fixed scalings—to attention, transformers, dynamic convolutions, and consciousness priors—which modulate scale to input and increase scale breadth.

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one of the most popular algorithms in the field of Deep Learning. It is mainly used in computer identification, especially in voice, text recognition and other aspects of the application. CNNs have been developed for decades. In theory, Convolutional Neural Network has gradually become more mature. However, in practical applications, it is limited by various conditions. This paper will introduce the course of Convolutional Neural Network’s development today, as well as the current more mature and popular architecture and related applications of it, to help readers have more macro and comprehensive understanding of Convolutional Neural Networks. KEYWORDS Convolutional Neuron Network, Architecture, CNN family, Application INTRODUCTION With the continuous improvements of technology, there are more and more multi- disciplinary applications achieved with computer technology.

  • Time Dependent Plasticity in Vanilla Backpro
    Under review as a conference paper at ICLR 2018 ITERATIVE TEMPORAL DIFFERENCING WITH FIXED RANDOM FEEDBACK ALIGNMENT SUPPORT SPIKE- TIME DEPENDENT PLASTICITY IN VANILLA BACKPROP- AGATION FOR DEEP LEARNING Anonymous authors Paper under double-blind review ABSTRACT In vanilla backpropagation (VBP), activation function matters considerably in terms of non-linearity and differentiability. Vanishing gradient has been an im- portant problem related to the bad choice of activation function in deep learning (DL). This work shows that a differentiable activation function is not necessary any more for error backpropagation. The derivative of the activation function can be replaced by an iterative temporal differencing (ITD) using fixed random feed- back weight alignment (FBA). Using FBA with ITD, we can transform the VBP into a more biologically plausible approach for learning deep neural network ar- chitectures. We don’t claim that ITD works completely the same as the spike-time dependent plasticity (STDP) in our brain but this work can be a step toward the integration of STDP-based error backpropagation in deep learning. 1 INTRODUCTION VBP was proposed around 1987 Rumelhart et al. (1985). Almost at the same time, biologically- inspired convolutional networks was also introduced as well using VBP LeCun et al. (1989). Deep learning (DL) was introduced as an approach to learn deep neural network architecture using VBP LeCun et al. (1989; 2015); Krizhevsky et al. (2012). Extremely deep networks learning reached 152 layers of representation with residual and highway networks He et al. (2016); Srivastava et al. (2015). Deep reinforcement learning was successfully implemented and applied which was mimicking the dopamine effect in our brain for self-supervised and unsupervised learning Silver et al.

David R. Lovell, March 14, 1994 Abstract This thesis is about the neocognitron, a neural network that was proposed by Fuku- shima in 1979. Inspired by Hubel and Wiesel's serial model of processing in the visual cortex, the neocognitron was initially intended as a self-organizing model of vision, however, we are concerned with the supervised version of the network, put forward by Fukushima in 1983. Through "training with a teacher", Fukushima hoped to obtain a character recognition system that was tolerant of shifts and deformations in input images. Until now though, it has not been clear whether Fukushima's ap- proach has resulted in a network that can rival the performance of other recognition systems. In the first three chapters of this thesis, the biological basis, operational principles and mathematical implementation of the supervised neocognitron are presented in detail.
