受生物神经元启发,用结构迁移实现自适应学习的新型神经网络

Structural Plasticity as Active Inference: A Biologically-Inspired Architecture for Homeostatic Control

  • 基于局部预测误差最小化与细胞迁移的双机制学习
  • 在倒立摆任务中稳定达成82%成功率,锁死参数后性能持续
  • 适合研究生物启发式学习、自组织神经架构的学者参考

传统神经网络依赖不具生物学合理性的全局反向传播。本文提出结构自适应预测推断网络(SAPIN),受主动推理和生物神经元形态可塑性启发。SAPIN 在二维网格上运行,节点通过最小化局部预测误差进行学习。其包含两种并发机制:基于激活时间差的局部赫布型突触可塑性,以及细胞在网格间物理迁移以优化信息接收场的结构可塑性。该双机制使网络既能学习信息处理方式(突触权重),也能优化计算资源布局(网络拓扑)。在经典倒立摆强化学习基准测试中,模型成功完成任务并实现鲁棒性能。内在的预测误差最小化与稳态维持驱动力足以发现稳定平衡策略。尽管持续学习导致不稳定,但锁定成功后的参数可保持稳定。对100次成功生成的代理在锁定后评估100轮,平均成功率维持在82%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Traditional neural networks, while powerful, rely on biologically implausible learning mechanisms such as global backpropagation. This paper introduces the Structurally Adaptive Predictive Inference Network (SAPIN), a novel computational model inspired by the principles of active inference and the morphological plasticity observed in biological neural cultures. SAPIN operates on a 2D grid where processing units, or cells, learn by minimizing local prediction errors. The model features two primary, concurrent learning mechanisms: a local, Hebbian-like synaptic plasticity rule based on the temporal difference between a cell's actual activation and its learned expectation, and a structural plasticity mechanism where cells physically migrate across the grid to optimize their information-receptive fields. This dual approach allows the network to learn both how to process information (synaptic weights) and also where to position its computational resources (network topology). We validated the SAPIN model on the classic Cart Pole reinforcement learning benchmark. Our results demonstrate that the architecture can successfully solve the CartPole task, achieving robust performance. The network's intrinsic drive to minimize prediction error and maintain homeostasis was sufficient to discover a stable balancing policy. We also found that while continual learning led to instability, locking the network's parameters after achieving success resulted in a stable policy. When evaluated for 100 episodes post-locking (repeated over 100 successful agents), the locked networks maintained an average 82% success rate.
