Dendritic cortical microcircuits approximate the backpropagation algorithm

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a multilayer neural network model with simplified dendritic compartments in which error-driven synaptic plasticity adapts the network towards a global desired output.
Proceedings Article

The Causal-Neural Connection: Expressiveness, Learnability, and Inference

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the causal hierarchy theorem (Thm. 1, Bareinboim et al., 2020), which describes the limits of what can be learned from data, still holds for neural models.

Learning the Arrow of Time

TL;DR: It is illustrated how a learned arrow of time can capture meaningful information about the environment, which in turn can be used to measure reachability, detect side-effects and to obtain an intrinsic reward signal.

Bounding the Test Log-Likelihood of Generative Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-parametric density estimator of the model's probability function from samples generated by the model is proposed and proved to provide a lower bound on the true test log-likelihood, and an unbiased estimator as the number of generated samples goes to infinity.

Combining Model-based and Model-free RL via Multi-step Control Variates

TL;DR: The authors leverage multi-step neural network based predictive models by embedding real trajectories into imaginary rollouts of the model, and use the imaginary cumulative rewards as control variates for model-free algorithms.
