From Artificial Intelligence to Brain Intelligence: The basis learning and memory algorithm for brain-like intelligence
This work addresses the gap in brain-like intelligence algorithms for neuroscience and AI researchers, though it appears incremental as it adapts existing concepts to biological contexts.
The authors tackled the problem of unknown brain learning and memory algorithms by designing a biologically plausible backpropagation version and an encoding algorithm for memory engram, achieving image classification and fast associative memory simulation.
The algorithm of brain learning and memory is still undetermined. The backpropagation algorithm of artificial neural networks was thought not suitable for brain cortex, and there is a lack of algorithm for memory engram. We designed a brain version of backpropagation algorithm, which are biologically plausible and could be implemented with virtual neurons to complete image classification task. An encoding algorithm that can automatically allocate engram cells is proposed, which is an algorithm implementation for memory engram theory, and could simulate how hippocampus achieve fast associative memory. The role of the LTP and LTD in the cerebellum is also explained in algorithm level. Our results proposed a method for the brain to deploy backpropagation algorithm, and sparse coding method for memory engram theory.
