将前向-前向算法引入神经网络训练,带来范式转变:通过两次前向传播——一次使用真实数据实现正向激励,一次使用合成负样本实现判别学习——跳过反向传播的复杂性,简化训练流程。该方法以简洁高效著称。为克服传统注意力技术主要依赖梯度的局限,我们开发了专用于前向-前向框架的新型注意力算法。该方法增强了对特征重要性和模型决策过程的直观理解,清晰呈现影响预测的关键数据特征。借助此方法,我们获得了比标准手段更深入的模型可解释性。在MNIST和Fashion MNIST数据集上的评估表明,该方法不仅可行,且性能与传统多层感知机(MLP)模型相当。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Incorporating the Forward Forward algorithm into neural network training represents a transformative shift from traditional methods, introducing a dual forward mechanism that streamlines the learning process by bypassing the complexities of derivative propagation. This method is noted for its simplicity and efficiency and involves executing two forward passes the first with actual data to promote positive reinforcement, and the second with synthetically generated negative data to enable discriminative learning. Our experiments confirm that the Forward Forward algorithm is not merely an experimental novelty but a viable training strategy that competes robustly with conventional multi layer perceptron (MLP) architectures. To overcome the limitations inherent in traditional saliency techniques, which predominantly rely on gradient based methods, we developed a bespoke saliency algorithm specifically tailored for the Forward Forward framework. This innovative algorithm enhances the intuitive understanding of feature importance and network decision-making, providing clear visualizations of the data features most influential in model predictions. By leveraging this specialized saliency method, we gain deeper insights into the internal workings of the model, significantly enhancing our interpretative capabilities beyond those offered by standard approaches. Our evaluations, utilizing the MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets, demonstrate that our method performs comparably to traditional MLP-based models.
