Title: Target Learning rather than Backpropagation Explains Learning in the Mammalian Neocortex Abstract: Modern computational neuroscience presents two competing hypotheses for hierarchical learning in the neocortex: (1) deep learning-inspired approximations of the backpropagation algorithm, where neurons adjust synapses to minimize error, and (2) target learning algorithms, where neurons reduce the feedback required to achieve a desired activity.…
